    55When MacPorts' fetches via ftp, it contacts servers in passive mode by trying "EPSV" first and then, if that fails, trying "PASV". The server at ftp.cwru.edu, and presumable more servers, break the connection after the "EPSV" request, making it impossible to try "PASV" so the fetch fails.  #10832.

    7 Various options are being considered to deal with this in a future release.  Right now many ports exhibit this behavior behind firewalls and the only solution is to download the file with the ftp link in a browser or ftp client and copy the file to ${prefix}/var/db/dports/distfiles/<portname>/.  If a 'port clean --all' has been done the distfile directory will have been removed.  The directory for each port is created at the beginning of the fetch phase.
