-------------------------+--------------------
 When attempting to install packages via MacPorts, the download speed from
 packages.macports.org is extremely slow.

 '''Steps to reproduce:'''
 1. Run: `sudo port install gh`
 2. Observe the Fetching archive step

 '''Expected behavior:'''
 Download speed should be reasonable for a stable internet connection

 '''Actual behavior:'''
 Downloads proceed at extremely slow speeds, e.g., 26.8 KiB/s when fetching
 gh-2.92.0_0.darwin_24.arm64.tbz2

 '''Environment:'''
 - System: macOS (Apple Silicon/arm64)
 - Package: gh (GitHub CLI)
 - URL: https://packages.macports.org/gh/gh-2.92.0_0.darwin_24.arm64.tbz2

 This makes installation of packages impractical and suggests a potential
 issue with the packages.macports.org mirror or server performance.
