mpfr patches first fail then are sloowwwww!

[Tabitha McNerney]

Has anyone else noticed how slowwwww downloading the patches for the
mpfrMacPort is? I need mpfr as a prerequisite for the gcc41 and gcc42
ports. At
first my attempt to install mpfr failed like this:

# port install mpfr
--->  Fetching mpfr
--->  Attempting to fetch patch01 from http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.2.1/
--->  Attempting to fetch patch02 from http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-2.2.1/
--->  Attempting to fetch patch02 from
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/mpfr
--->  Attempting to fetch patch02 from
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/distfiles/general/
--->  Attempting to fetch patch02 from
http://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/downloads/mpfr
Error: Target org.macports.fetch returned: fetch failed
Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.


But then I re-started like this and the patches started to download and
install but it took a relatively large amount of time. I'm wondering if
anyone might know why?
