MacPorts dmg installer hangs up, does not finish ?

[William Siegrist]

The rsync repo gets sluggish around 4-5am PDT every day due to server  
backups and maintenance. I'm actually going to try spreading out some  
of the load throughout the day to help... But right now, you can  
expect the selfupdate and syncs to take up to 10m. Normally on average  
they take 1-3m for me during the day.

I was thinking that the progress bar on the installer could be changed  
or some rsync verbose output added to make it not seem like a hang,  
but the performance is also an issue, and I am working on it.

Thanks
-Bill
