 Replying to [comment:2 ryandesign@…]:
 > What are some of the URLs that are hanging? Do you get the same problem
 if you try to access those URLs in a web browser? Do you use any unusual
 network setup, such as a proxy server?

 ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/* are the worst offenders (just hanging forever),
 but ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/* and
 ftp://ftp.cse.buffalo.edu/pub/Gnome/sources/* both seem to hang for 10-20
 minutes before jumping to a mirror. I managed to get the packages
 installed by opening the URLs in Firefox (which worked instantly) and then
 copying them to the distfiles folder, removing the 0 byte temp file that
 had been created, and restarting the install sequence.

 No unusual network setup or proxies.
