 Hi - So I don't know which version of Mac OS you're running, but the
 approach to this kind of problem is like this:

 run
 {{{
 port -v distfiles demeter
 }}}
 you get this
 {{{

 $ port -v distfiles demeter
 --->  Distfiles for demeter
 [demeter-0.9.25.tar.gz]
 /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/demeter/demeter-0.9.25.tar.gz

 OK. lots of those links are to macport's mirrors of the distfiles, which
 might be having a problem getting the file. There is one, though, that is
 the original source of the file -- it's not a macports mirror:
 {{{
 https://github.com/bruceravel/demeter/tarball/0.9.25/demeter-0.9.25.tar.gz
 }}}
 So I don't know what the problem is -- maybe the file doesn't exist any
 more, or maybe your security setup is too old to download it (that's the
 usual issue these days on older systems). So go into the folder where the
 file is to be downloaded (from the first line of the above listing)
 {{{
 cd /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/demeter/
 }}}
 and download it with a different downloader than macports internal
 downloading system. I like to use wget, which you can install like this if
 you don't already have it:
 {{{
 sudo port -v install wget
 }}}
 once you have wget installed, download the file manually into the proper
 folder:
 {{{
 sudo wget
 https://github.com/bruceravel/demeter/tarball/0.9.25/demeter-0.9.25.tar.gz
 }}}
 If that doesn't work, the file has probably been deleted or moved, and the
 portfile needs updating. You can try one of the other download links if
 you like. You can download it on a different machine and `scp` it over to
 the problem machine. Or you may get a clue as to what's going wrong from
 wget.

 Hope this helps -- K
