 I live in Japan.

 When attempting to install/upgrade GNU packages/dependencies (ie. gsl, or
 gettext), I get:

 --->  Attempting to fetch gsl-1.14.tar.gz from
 ftp://ftp.dti.ad.jp/pub/GNU/gsl

 and the program hangs there, without timing out. I can go the the ftp site
 via Firefox, and manually download the package to
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles, and retry, and it works fine. Something
 must be wrong with the ftp site, since other sources work fine, but it
 must also be a problem with macports, since Firefox is able to access the
 ftp site without issue.
