This is terrible. (And it has happened to me before also.) pkg_add should
keep track that it already retrieved this one time. An easy way would be
to put all the extracted packages under one tmp directory using the
package name as the sub-directory name. Then check that. And don't delete
the temp directories until pkg_add is finished.

"pkg"
Yes, please submit this.
