--- Comment #1 from Philip Paeps <philip@FreeBSD.org> ---
The package building infrastructure caches every distfile we are legally
allowed to distribute.  By default, the ports framework will fetch from the
upstream sites.  In many cases, they're better connected than our mirrors.

If you struggle to connect to the upstream sites, you could configure your
/etc/make.conf to try our cache first.

MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=  ${MASTER_SITE_BACKUP}

If you hit missing files, please let us know which mirror you're connecting to
(traceroute) and which files you're missing.
