Although I have not yet investigated more thoroughly (I was looking at metadata in another Problem Report, the MASTER_SITES seem to be inactive: => mksh-R59c.tgz doesn't seem to exist in /home/freebsd/freebsd-ports/distfiles. => Attempting to fetch https://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS/dist/mir/mksh/mksh-R59c.tgz 0020619718390000:error:0A000152:SSL routines:final_renegotiate:unsafe legacy renegotiation disabled:/usr/src/crypto/openssl/ssl/statem/extensions.c:894: fetch: https://www.mirbsd.org/MirOS/dist/mir/mksh/mksh-R59c.tgz: Authentication error => Attempting to fetch https://pub.allbsd.org/MirOS/dist/mir/mksh/mksh-R59c.tgz fetch: https://pub.allbsd.org/MirOS/dist/mir/mksh/mksh-R59c.tgz: Not Found => Attempting to fetch http://distcache.FreeBSD.org/ports-distfiles/mksh-R59c.tgz mksh-R59c.tgz 432 kB 1015 kBps 00s
Thanks for opening the issue. Indeed I can confirm it, most likely due to the site not supporting modern security protocols, such as TLS 1.2 . I will bring this to the attention of the developer.

Hi, (In reply to Rares Aioanei from comment #2) Thank you for your submission. In the patch there is no need to add "mksh-R59c.tgz" to end of the new URL since it's the same as $DISTNAME value. I also have seen that allbsd.org URL (the second MASTER_SITE) still works fine, so I have only changed the first dead URL with the new one you provided in my patch from here: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D55543 I am waiting for your approval of the new patch. Thank you.
(In reply to Yusuf Yaman from comment #3) Approved.
