Does this happen much, in peoples' experience here? When it

there any workaround, such as trying a different rsync mirror or

I'm guessing I just have to wait a day and try again.
The ports usually fetch the software from the developers' web sites.
We don't control them, so it's possible that they'll be down from
time to time. But it shouldn't be a problem that often. You can also
always fetch the software yourself, if you can find it elsewhere, and
put it in the right place (which is /opt/local/var/macports/distfiles/
${name}). For sites that are frequently down, we sometimes mirror the
distfiles on our own server. You could show us the exact error
messages you're getting so we can look into it and see what's going on.
