It's only a problem if SourceForge was sending a 200 OK HTTP status code but delivering an HTML file instead of the distfile we requested, and in that case, MacPorts would print a message stating that the file it got was an HTML file. That was not stated in the error shown above.

Yes. It looks like they sent "fake" 404 error messages as "real" webpages with
status 200, confusing everybody. The original message in this thread has had a
warning regarding this in its output, for the other thread we never saw how the
distfile was fetched, so it stands to reason that the warning also came up there
at fetch time.
