I don't know - I don't control that mirror, nor have I seen any details
on how/where it downloads.  I suppose it's related to a cronjob which
has been running for a while here:

http://ncurses.scripts.mit.edu/?p=ncurses.git

I do this:

https://invisible-island.net/personal/git-exports.html
https://github.com/ThomasDickey/ncurses-snapshots

and (subject, again, to this being hosted), can check on problems with that.
