I'm sorry, do you mean the tarball that gets downloaded (spectrwm-2.1.1.tgz)?
It's working fine for me, could you please let me know the problem you're

By HTTPS being a problem, is that related to the spectrwm download site ? or

If it's the former, does HTTPS pose a problem ? Just curious.

If it's the latter, could you please try this:
git://github.com/lsm5/pkgsrc.git ?
