That's a distributable archive so it gets downloaded from the public server which is available to everyone.

But some ports are not distributable so we store them on a private server that only CI has access to. I guess some of the dependencies of the ports your inquiring about are not distributable. I need to fix the list of who is allowed to access that private server so that CI can access it again.
