The biggest distfile I currently have downloaded is the one for qt4-mac which weighs in at 152MB.

"port distfiles qt4-mac" shows you all the locations the file is available.

Yeah, you may not be affected by the issue. Or the issue may be intermittent.


> For those who get 5KB/s can you post your location, and run a trace from your location to distfiles.macports.org.  For what it is worth, I can get that route to barf on me by upping the packet size, but I also find that is pretty normal and consistent to any route.

I'm on a variety of residential networks in Austin, TX, but I've also seen the problem on a residential network in San Antonio, TX:

> How do we know this is not just a bandwidth issue? Ping is used to determine and choose the route, but that has nothing to do with network saturation on the actual box.  Perhaps there is simply a lot of activity on the machine, or network.  What are the specifications of the network this server is connected to?
