New description:

 For what it's worth, I'm using gentoo, and I'm also having trouble
 downloading these from zlib.net and gzip.org

 You may want to notify those folks that the tarball is 404.

Comment:

 #24732 was closed two years ago as invalid.

 The zlib port was updated to 1.2.6 some time ago. It's not surprising
 they've removed or moved the 1.2.5 distfile. Doesn't matter anyway;
 MacPorts properly handles 404 errors and retries the download from another
 server, such as one of the MacPorts distfiles mirrors, which
 [http://distfiles.macports.org/zlib/ do have] that old file.

 The MacPorts zlib portfile is not configured to attempt to download from
 gzip.org.

 If you are having trouble downloading files from someone's server, you
 should report the problem directly to the administrators of that server.
