It seems yes that the homepage for cmus does not respond anymore. I
added a mirror in the list of master_sites. It should be up in some
time. In the meantime, you can download the file yourself (linked from
http://cmus.sf.net/) and put it in the distfile directory. Or you can
wait a few hours, do a port sync and retry installing cmus.

No, hopefully, the port will work in a few hours, thanks for the
alert.
