I don't think that particular server is functioning anymore. It used
to take you to a web page when viewed in a browser but it now directs
you straight to a plig.org mirror.

I suggest you read the handbook and find a different mirror. I used to
use the cvsup.ie.freebsd.org one which was quite reliable.

# cvsup -g Supfile-ports
Connected to cvsup.uk.FreeBSD.org
Updating collection ports-all/cvs
Edit ports/archivers/p5-Compress-Zlib/Makefile
Edit ports/archivers/p5-Compress-Zlib/distinfo
[...]


Sometimes I find the server unavailable, but rarely.

Muhammad, please try the server again, and also try another one somewhere else. If you still have problems then it may be that there is a firewall of some kind between you the the cvsup server.
