Comment (by cal@…):

 I cannot reproduce your problems. In fact, I made nue.de.*.macports.org my
 default mirror, because it is very fast. For example:

 {{{
 --->  Fetching distfiles for qt4-mac
 --->  Attempting to fetch qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tar.gz from
 http://nue.de.distfiles.macports.org/macports/distfiles/qt4-mac
       [                                        ]  45.3 %        speed: 3.1
 MiB/s
 ^C
 }}}
 and that's just because the connection here isn't any faster. Using my
 server yields similar results:
 {{{
 :) clemens at towel:~$ curl -L
 http://nue.de.distfiles.macports.org/macports/distfiles/qt4-mac/qt-
 everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.6.tar.gz >/dev/null

 }}}
 That's pretty much as good as it gets on a 100M connection.


 As an FAU alumni I know that Erlangen is part of the backbone of the
 German research network (DFN).


 > 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.

 That makes me think the problem is actually with your local machine or
 network configuration, rather than with the server. Wifi vs. non-wifi,
 maybe?

 > Are you that short on bandwidth? ;-)

 Nope. They mirror MacPorts so they can wast^Wuse more bandwidth.
