Just a shot in the dark.  Have you tried selecting different mirrors? 
If that doesn't help, could you try to download the file manually and
copy it to distfiles?  If the first one works then I guess the mirror
you have selected has a problem or there is a problem between you and
the mirror.  If the first one doesn't work, maybe you have a problem
with your network?   If the second one doesn't work, then you have
something local wrong somewhere. 

Hope that helps.  Post back what happens.
