Yeah , 
using 
downloads.sourceforge.net will redirect for a good mirror 
for example : 
wget
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/freetype/freetype-2.4.4.tar.bz2

redirect to kent or
http://sunet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/freetype/freetype2/2.4.4/freetype-2.4.4.tar.bz2

so edit .config and replace easynews with kent or sunet or other that is
near to you .
