Need help: Some port fetches consistently fail

[Sam Finn]

Hi, 

In an effort to make sure that I was working in a “pristine” environment I began this afternoon by blowing away my existing installation (i.e., I rm’d /opt/local) and reinstalled from the installer from the MacPorts web site. I also ran “sudo port selfupdate” immediately afterwards and before I tried to install my first port. 

I have just now run “sudo port -f self update”, with the following result: 

Appletree [101] Yeah? sudo port -f selfupdate
Password:
--->  Updating MacPorts base sources using rsync
MacPorts base version 2.3.1 installed,
MacPorts base version 2.3.1 downloaded.
--->  Updating the ports tree
--->  MacPorts base is outdated, installing new version 2.3.1
Installing new MacPorts release in /opt/local as root:admin; permissions 0755


The ports tree has been updated. To upgrade your installed ports, you should run
  port upgrade outdated
49.626u 38.392s 2:43.38 53.8%	0+0k 2501+8177io 9520pf+0w

I get the same results as before when I try to install a port: 

Appletree [102] Yeah? sudo port install aspell

Again, thanks all for any help or suggestions you can offer!
