 I just tried to download an archive by accessing this URL in the browser:

 http://packages.macports.org/libiconv/libiconv-1.14_0.darwin_10.x86_64.tbz2

 The browser began displaying it as if it were a text file, because the
 server is delivering it with the text/plain MIME type. This is not a plain
 text file and should be served with the application/octet-stream MIME
 type, or better yet the proper MIME type, whatever that is (I've seen
 various options:

  * application/bzip2
  * application/x-bz2
  * application/x-bzip
  * application/x-bzip2
  * application/x-bzip-compressed-tar

 ).

 If the distfiles server is a different machine from the packages server,
 it also needs such a change; see:

 http://distfiles.macports.org/libmowgli/libmowgli-0.7.1.tbz2
