The problem i think is that many ports with multiple mirrors will use mirrors from 3rd world countries first, and the mirrors with real bandwidth will always be last on the list. Can anyone explain to me why that is? Doesn't it make more sense to try the fastest one first?

Perhaps you should try using MASTER_SORT_REGEX and setting some mirror priorities... here's a good example (mirrors in my country are given top priority, followed by *.edu which usually have near infinite bandwidth... put this in /etc/make.conf):

MASTER_SORT_REGEX?=^file: \
        ://ftp.?\.br\.FreeBSD\.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/ \
        mesh \
        ://[^/]*\.br[./] \
        ://ufpr\.dl\.sourceforge\.net/ \
        ://[^/]*\.edu[./]
