 Most recently, octave-optim failed to mirror because of this, and I
 remember seeing a few reports of issues with other ports.

 I guess we have two choices:
  1. always avoid redirects (will require work on many older ports
 including ones using the octave portgroup), or
  2. try to identify the bad mirrors and remove them until/unless they are
 fixed. The problematic one for octave-optim was `phoenixnap`.
