Um... there's a whole series of SourcForge mirrors to choose from.  The
default is nchc, unless it's unreachable, which in that case tries kent,
easynews, ufpr, umn, and heanet.  Override the default list by placing
this in /etc/make.conf (note it's using easynews):

MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE=http://easynews.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/%SUBDIR%/
