Comment (by devans@…):

 Replying to [comment:2 jmr@…]:
 > The workaround has been to fetch from our distfiles mirror instead. I
 believe Ryan was hoping to set up the mirroring as a buildbot job so it
 could happen right after each commit and before any builds.

 Through this week it looked like few, if any, of the distfiles mirrors
 were being updated at all.  However, as of today, it looks like they are
 being updated once again. Although the root problem remains, many ports
 that were failing to fetch at all are now fetching through the mirrors.
 Doing more detailed testing now on a leopard ppc machine that I now have
 remote access to.
