You could cancel and try again and MacPorts might pick a different mirror, but if it picks the GNU FTP server again, it will probably fail again. Try downloading the files manually from a MacPorts mirror like http://distfiles.macports.org/gcc44/ and putting them where MacPorts expects them (in this case, /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/gcc44).

Is there a way to specify which website to download by port?
