Concerning problems with updates from mirror.ctan

Hi,
I'm still having problems with updating.
Everything works fine if I specify a repository manually (other than
mirror.ctan.org), be it https, http or ftp. However, using the mirror
repository (either https or http), it always goes like this:
| $ tlmgr --repository https://mirror.ctan.org/systems/texlive/tlnet
update --list
| cannot contact mirror.ctan.org, returning a backbone server!
...
From then on the updating process sometimes works, sometimes doesn't
(totally random to me, see the log files below).
I wonder whether this may be due to the fact that the wget provided with
TL is compiled without HTTPS support (I'm on Mac OS 10.12
(x86_64-darwinlegacy), and don't have a system wget). Because when I do
on the command line what query_ctan_mirror in TLUtils.pm does, I only get:
| $./tlpkg/installer/wget.x86_64-darwinlegacy https://mirror.ctan.org
| https://mirror.ctan.org: HTTPS support not compiled in.
Best,
Robert
Here's the verbose output of two consecutive runs (default ctan
repository), done within seconds: the first seems to be fine, the second
one fails:
