-If fetch failed for a port, you can still get the distfile from anywhere else. Maybe the homepage of the software lists alternative download locations for source tarballs. Just download the distfile and save it to `${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles/<portname>/`. Make sure you get a file with exactly the same name (watch out for `.tar.gz` and `.tar.bz2`!) If a `port clean --all` has been done the distfile directory will have been removed. The directory for each port is created at the beginning of the fetch phase.
+If fetch failed for a port, you can still get the distfile from anywhere else. For example, the [http://distfiles.macports.org/ main MacPorts distfiles mirror] contains most ports' distfiles, or maybe the homepage of the software lists alternative download locations for source tarballs. Just download the distfile and save it to `${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles/<portname>/`. Make sure you get a file with exactly the same name (watch out for `.tar.gz` and `.tar.bz2`!) 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.
 
 '''Note:''' Checksum failures after a fetch are typically a separate issue.  See the [wiki:FAQ#checksums FAQ].
