Comment (by ryandesign):

 If the user is able to reach https://www.macports.org from that old
 machine (using a newer browser like TenFourFox), they should also be able
 to reach https://distfiles.macports.org. They're hosted on the same CDN,
 both with Let's Encrypt SSL certificates.

 I guess the problem is that our download links have once again switched
 from using our distfiles server to using GitHub. Looks like that happened
 in [7a1bca656b1409bb2b04b3c574bb2e5a2ef850ef/macports-www] when MacPorts
 2.4.2 was released, because the files were uploaded to GitHub first, and I
 added them to the distfiles server later. I would prefer to use our
 distfiles CDN links for the web site anyway so let's change that back.
