Hmm.. that will eat half of the available space in my /var partition :(
[inchoate 17:35] ~ >sudo du -sh /usr/local/portsnap
 50M    /usr/local/portsnap
[inchoate 17:35] ~ >df -h /var
Filesystem     Size    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s3d    193M    102M     76M    57%    /var

I hope people using old defaults (ie 100M /var) don't get bitten by this :)

Thanks for portsnap, it's a very useful tool!
