Comment:

 It looks like the new distfiles server is presenting the wrong MIME type
 for .dmg files:

 {{{

 That should be application/x-apple-diskimage or at least application
 /octet-stream, not application/x-troff-man or text/plain.

 I guess no MIME type is configured for .dmg on the server so it defaults
 to text/plain. And for the MacPorts dmg, the ".1" portion of the filename
 is looking like a manpage suffix.

 The server's default MIME type should be changed from text/plain to
 application/octet-stream and a MIME type for .dmg should be added as
 application/x-apple-diskimage.
