+It replaces the default do-fetch and checksum targets.

+Poudriere setup
+===============
+
+This requires a Poudriere version that supports overlays like
+poudriere-devel.
+
+Make the overlay available to Poudriere
+
+$ poudriere ports -c -p parfetch -m null -M %%DATADIR%%/overlay
+
+Use it
+
+$ poudriere bulk -O parfetch ...
+
+Additional configuration
+========================
+
+For additional configuration options please refer to
+%%DATADIR%%/overlay/Mk/bsd.overlay.mk
+
+The overlay can be disabled at any time by defining
+NO_PARFETCH.

+Fetch distfiles in parallel and with pipelining
+
+Ports that fetch multiple distfiles from the same host can
+especially benefit from this.
+
+This is a glue application between libcurl and the ports
+framework. It comes with a ports overlay that replaces the
+default do-fetch and checksum targets.
+
+This is an experiment. Use at your own risk.
