Is the server down for MacPorts?

Question

I've been trying for several hours ow to download MacPorts for OS X 10.10 Yosemite from https://www.macports.org/install.php

Unfortunately, I'm not able to access to the 'pkg' installers via the website.

For example, I've tried using the wgetcommand on Terminal, i.e.

wget "https://distfiles.macports.org/MacPorts/MacPorts-2.3.3-10.10-Yosemite.pkg"

This is the response:

`--2014-11-23 16:04:37--
Resolving distfiles.macports.org... 17.251.224.217 Connecting to distfiles.macports.org|17.251.224.217|:443... failed: Operation timed out. Retrying.

And so on.

If the website is indeed down, is there another way to download MacPorts?

The official servers have been down for the last few hours, you can however, also get the packages from here.
