Comment (by aggraef@…):

 It gets weirder. Just tried downloading a bigger file (some 20 MB) from
 there directly using wget and got some 20-30K/s again. Did the same on my
 Linux box sitting right beside my MacBook and, lo and behold, the file
 came down in just a few seconds, giving me the kind of download rates I'd
 expect with the connection I have. This is reproducible, and it's only on
 their site. Big files from bitbucket.org download on the Mac just fine.

 So the problem clearly is with nue.de.packages.macports.org, and only if
 the client is a Mac. Dear rrze-ftp-admins at fau.de, now I'd *really* like to
 know what explanation for that kind of behavior is. Throttling down Macs
 when they access a MacPorts mirror? Come on. Are you that short on
 bandwidth? ;-)
