It attempts to download from all locations, including GitHub and the MacPorts mirrors. The file isn't on any of them because you've specified the wrong values to github.setup.

You want:

github.setup        snabb downtimed 1.0 version-
github.tarball_from archive

checksums           rmd160  2daccb7b8311750d13b3ec789a1b89a0c147b100 \
                    sha256  778a444ac512a858e9500a9a30254f982ca31577170aaebcb8ca8fb479e1c3a1 \
                    size    72033


P.S: Since your question is about developing a portfile, it would have been more appropriate to ask it on the macports-dev mailing list.
