I'd recommend to take a look at your $prefix/etc/macports/macports.conf and ensure that rsync_dir ends with tarballs/base.tar (or just comment the setting, which automatically triggers the default, which contains base.tar). The advantage of using the base.tar is that the tarball is signed and the signature is checked during updates. I stronly discourage any use of the old release/base URLs.

The CDN that caches the website may need a while to update. Current links are up for me on https://www.macports.org/install.php but it may take a couple of more hours for them to show up on your mirror. -- Clemens
