Comment (by macports@…):

 Relatedly, the [[https://guide.macports.org/chunked/internals
 .configuration-files.html|configuration documentation]] seems vague as to
 what one actually puts in `host_blacklist` for instance to avoid a
 particular mirror.  Eg `nou.nc` or the [wiki:Mirrors three variations on
 the name] for `rsync`, `distfiles` and `packages`.  For now I've listed
 all four, viz:

 {{{
 host_blacklist          nou.nc nou.nc.rsync.macports.org
 nou.nc.distfiles.macports.org nou.nc.packages.macports.org
 }}}

 which does seem to have worked to avoid nou.nc (and thus the timeouts).
