An interesting thing to note is:
fetch -1amvv ftp://ftp.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-dist-distfiles/eik//auditfile.tbz
[..]
>>> CWD /pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-dist-distfiles/eik/
<<< 550 /pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-dist-distfiles/eik/: No such file or directory.
fetch: ftp://ftp.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-dist-distfiles/eik//auditfile.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
