Hi sorry about the lack of details before (I was on my phone so no urls handy) I tried 2 "low hanging fruit" (=no source changes) packages for the ports - zlib and mksh. http://zlib.net/zlib-1.2.8.tar.gz https://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS/dist/mir/mksh/mksh-R50f.tgz I remembered wrong... both were gzipped. I had other archives that were bz2 now when I was at my computer I took the opportunity to compare md5sums between the archives downloaded on 9front and on Linux and they differed. Before I just assumed that there was an issue with tar. This might be a vbox bug (known for flaky network? I use the recommended settings from 9front wiki), so I will try in qemu instead.
