Comment:

 Has duplicate #53423.

 To explain: many sites now only offer downloads via https, and the
 versions of curl and openssl in Leopard and Tiger are too old to be able
 to communicate with modern https sites, so fetching the files from the
 original site fails. This wouldn't be a problem if we had our http
 distfile mirroring up and running, so we need to get it back online again.
