Regarding the ports from CLC, we try our best to keep them up to date
and working, but obviously everyone does this as a hobby. If a port
fails to build because of a download problem, please to submit a bug
report via our bug tracking system:
  http://crux.fh-regensburg.de/cgi-bin/cvstrac/index

Please make sure it's not a problem of the remote server (e.g.
sourceforge server downtime etc.).

Best regards,
Johannes
