Comment (by cal@…):

 Relaying an answer from the admins, since they don't have a trac account:

 > It probably is some kind of misconfiguration, but not on the server
 side. I cannot reproduce these horrible transfer rates from any network
 connection available to me. The server is in no way close to its limits,
 neither connectionwise nor I/O. As you correctly stated, we are directly
 connected to the DFN (german scientific network) which usually has rather
 good connectivity throughout Europe, and Erlangen even is one of the four
 supercores around which that network is built.

 > Also note that we do publish quite a lot of statistics about the mirrors
 we run, including an average transfer rate per HTTP connection. While that
 isn't really exact, more of a guesstimate, the current ATR for the
 macports mirror isn't even close to the numbers reported:
 https://ftp.fau.de/cgi-bin/show-ftp-
 stats.cgi?statstype=1&datum=2014-10-09&orderby=mirrorname&orderdir=asc

 > My first suggestion would be to check whether the connection goes
 through IPv4 or IPv6, and try the respective other. There are providers
 that seriously mess up their IPv6 connectivity (and thanks to "happy
 eyeballs" in webbrowsers customers hardly notice), so that would be an
 explanation that would not surprise me.
