Comment (by ryandesign):

 mpbb is intentionally programmed to only use the main sites and not any
 mirrors:

 https://github.com/macports/mpbb/blob/9a735472646136ff02cffc9399fabe2cf8e6fa94
 /mpbb-checkout#L214

 (mirror.fcix.net is an unintended exception to the rule because it does
 not use a macports.org hostname.)

 This works fine for everything except the Apple Silicon build workers
 because they all live on the same network where local DNS rules map
 distfiles.macports.org to the private server.

 The Apple Silicon build workers are at a different data center and will be
 talking to the real distfiles.macports.org.
