"make master-sites" will give you a list of all sites which are
being searched. One of them, the last one, is ftp.FreeBSD.org. That
is the backup site by default.

Now, if you turn it around
(MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE=ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/
make master-sites) you suddenly have the backupsite as the first
entry.

If you have setup a /etc/make.conf, you might have added this line to it:
MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE?=ftp://ftp.XX.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/distfiles/${DIST_SUBDIR}/

which actually tries to download it first from that site before it
tries the real matersites. For me it is ftp.au.freebsd.org because
that one is on the same network as I am (relatively speaking).

For you most likely too :-)

Happy downloading!
