Solene mentions that she had to use a shelll wrapper to get rid of the "-S session=..." parameter from curl. Does anyone have an idea of how that would look, so that I can test this out.

Another way of speeding up pkg_add is to use this project, obsdpkgup.

Simple:

1/ write a shell script with this content:

#!/bin/sh
/usr/local/bin/curl -s -q -N $5

2/ change the FETCH_CMD to the shell script!
