Reverse DNS looks fine here (subdomain should not matter):
192.119.205.242	pearsoncomputing.net

The TDE servers are still in a bad physical location for Internet access,
on top of residing in the United States where high speed Internet access
is typically much harder to obtain than the rest of the world.  Relocation
is still being worked on with tentative scheduling for the middle of 2016.

Slavek has a (plain HTTP) mirror here:
http://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/

Alternatively you can download the complete release tarball for R14.0.2;
it contains the GIT SCM files such that you should only need to switch
back to the master branch and pull (relatively small) updates from the
master server:
https://trinitydesktop.org/releases/R14.0.2/

Hope this helps!

Tim
