That is not what there mirror is for, the mirror is there for some 
temporary upstream failure, to make sure that users will still have the 
distfile, not for definitive failure (upstream dead, or for distfile 
location/redirection changes).
BTW: in that case marking the ports has broken did the job it was 
intended to, people have had a look at it and fixed it, otherwise the 
problem won't have been fixed before eons.

thanks bf@ for having fixed this.
