#51346: nou.nc: "default" host for New Zealand: ping succeeds, HTTP times out -----------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: macports@… | Owner: admin@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: server/hosting | Version: 2.3.4 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | -----------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): MacPorts selects which distfiles and packages servers to use based on lowest ping time. My understanding is that `host_blacklist` should contain the complete hostname(s) you want to blacklist. Not sure why that's not working for you. The nou.nc server seems to be working for me, when I tested it just now from Texas. Mirror issues should be reported to the administrator of the applicable mirror; thanks for doing so. If you're curious which MaxCDN mirror server you're hitting, use `dig packages.macports.org` to find its IP address, then access its IP address in your web browser. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/51346#comment:3> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
