It used to be that whenever I wanted a "port" using a web browser, I
clicked on the "Download" HTTP link, and received a gzipped, tar file.
Now, clicking on the "Download" link merely takes me to the FTP
directory for that port.

What is the proper process to acquire a port "tar" file from a web
browser? Thank you.
