I find it highly unlikely that any speed problems are curl's fault.
It's hard to write a slow HTTP downloader ;)
Perhaps you should try editing /opt/local/share/darwinports/resources/
port1.0/fetch/mirror_sites.tcl and reordering the mirror list?

checked /usr/local/share/darwinports/Tcl/port1.0/portfetch.tcl (I use
/usr/local instead of /opt/local) and find file fetch uses curl.
Since I
installed and tested axel, I find it's fairly good, about as fast as
prozilla (I have experience of using Gentoo which uses prozilla).
My question is how to hack portfetch.tcl to use axel instead. Sure
simply change curl to axel does not work.
Wish someone can help me. Thanks.
