Comment(by Chris.Barker@…):

 NOTE:

 I tried it outside out firewall, and it turns out that:

 ftp://ftp.hdfgroup.org/HDF5/prev-releases/hdf5-1.8.5/src/

 is the only source of that file -- it would be really nice to have an
 alternative.

 It seems that it would be pretty easy to write a script that would go
 through and put copies of source from every single port on a macports
 server:  http://distfiles.macports.org/ , for instance. Is there a disk
 space limitation? What is the policy about putting source files there?
