Darren sent me a list with sites where he experiences the problem and I have tested them with FreeBSD 5-CURRENT (yesterday's), 4.10-STABLE and Windows 2kSP4. None worked. For FreeBSD fetch waited for the connection timeout and went to the second site to fetch the tarball (successfully). Maybe he was just not patient enough to wait for fetch to move on. -- Andre
