Make absolutely sure that there are no fetchmail instances delivering
mail to your mail queue. Check your mail logs for this.
When the traffic is stopped (daemon goes to sleep or all deliveries are
done), make sure that fetchmail daemon is stopped
(/usr/local/bin/fetchmail -q) or if it is run from cron, temporarily
remove the entry.
As a general rule of thumb, if a port download breaks at some point you
should start over, but first you should clean up the mess.
A "make distclean" and "make clean" inside the fetchmail port directory
(/usr/ports/mail/fetchmail) will delete the half-downloaded file and
clean up the work directory.
The half-downloaded file is in /usr/ports/distfiles
