 from this site and it's fix problem )))

 I think you mean "127.0.0.1 mirror.facebook.net". That'll work for you...
 but other users on your network would have the same problem.

 > PS: yes - our router setup to deny any link with *facebook* on it - any
 such
 http://who.is/search.php?query=facebook.net&search_type=Whois&submit=Who.is+Search

 I still think that's overly restrictive and should be relaxed. I also
 still think your "blocked" page needs to be fixed as per my previous
 message. But these issues are up to you and your network administrators.


 The only fix we could make for this in MacPorts right now would be to
 remove the Facebook mirrors from our list, but since you're the first
 person I'm aware of this having affected in 5 months, I'm not going to do
 that for now. But I'll continue to monitor the tickets and we can
 reconsider later if it proves to be a bigger problem.
