Has anyone else noticed a problem fetching the git tarball from kernel.org? I can do so

I was hoping it was some misbehavior of kernel.org but this has been trouble
for a couple of days now. Any suggestions for debugging this?
That does sound like misbehavior of that server. Have you talked to them about
it?
MacPorts eventually gives up on servers that are delivering files too slowly,
so if you just wait, it should eventually either finish downloading (if it’s
just going slowly), or re-try from a different server.
I left it to try for more than an hour and for several shorter - but
still very long - intervals. I have not seen it give up yet and suspect
that whatever the failure mode is it is not getting detected by MacPorts
infrastructure.
I am not sure what to report to kernel.org since it downloads quickly
through my web browser (~30 seconds on my slow home connection and
faster elsewhere). I've tried this at least a couple of times with no
troubles, while the MacPorts download has failed consistently over a
dozen or so tries over three days now.
