Comment (by ryandesign):

 Replying to [ticket:63613 greyhare]:
 > I have no idea why I'm getting 503 errors from `packages.macports.org`,
 but IMHO `port` shouldn't immediately die on 4xx or 5xx errors. It should
 instead try the next download location.

 It does.

 Here, the problem seems to be that it successfully got the archive but
 then encountered a 503 error trying to download the archive's rmd160
 signature. MacPorts base code did not anticipate that the fetch of one
 file from a server would succeed and an immediately following fetch of
 another file from the same server would fail.

 I do not encounter this problem when I try it now. Can you try again? If
 it still fails, does this happen for all ports or just this one? Has it
 ever worked? Do you use a proxy server on your network? Do you have any
 software (antivirus, etc.) installed that inserts itself into your network
 stack that might be interfering?
