Comment (by ryandesign):

 Yes, that's right.

 Next month, when our CDN bandwidth resets, I'll reinstate the use of the
 CDN. We just need to make sure we stay within the free monthly
 bandwidth/usage limits they've given us, which is not straightforward
 because they haven't given us any way to see how much of the credit we've
 used.

 Technically on the buildbot worker "distfiles.macports.org" is not the
 CDN; there's local DNS overrides that point that hostname at the local
 server. Ideally I would like to tell MacPorts on the buildbot to use a
 different hostname, like distfiles.internal.macports.net, for getting
 distfiles, and get rid of the DNS override.
