Thanks for that interesting report. I checked the site and found this announcement: http://google-opensource.blogspot.de/2013/05/a-change-to-google-code-download-service.html There they recommend to move new downloads to Google drive. I don't know however, if this is a reasonable option for a FreeBSD port.
