All HTTP Fetches fail, only FTP working

[Tico Ballagas]

Hello-

I'm having a strange problem where all of the fetch attempts using  
HTTP fail, but all FTP work fine (see output below).  Any ideas what  
might be going wrong?

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling MacPorts, but the problem  
persists.  Currently, as a workaround, I have to manually download  
packages and place them in the /opt/local/ directory myself.

Thanks
