For example, I often go the freshports.org<http://freshports.org> to find a package that fills a need... download it from the official FTP server(s), inspect all of them, and choose the one that best fits me need (and only then installing from the local file; tossing the rest). If I go through the "pkg" tool, I have to inspect things *after* they've been installed which is not to my satisfaction.
