Joining the thread, to say I have the problem, too:

- PowerBook G4, has this (any ftp:// mirror download gets to 100% and stays there) - iMac G4, has this not (same wlan infrastructure) but I haven't fink selfupdate'd that for a while..

So, trying to find the reason, and staying tuned in case someone else finds the fix! :D

-asko

ps.
both are using Apple's curl, and just the curl command (no fink attached) does the same:

curl -v -O ftp://ftp.uninett.no/pub/gnu/automake/automake-1.7.9.tar.bz2

This stucks on PowerBook, works on iMac.  strange...?


[iMac:~] asko% which curl

Hi, everyone,

I am in the fourth day of trying to install bundle-kde-ssl, and it fails when trying to download povray, in a weird way: the curl process goes through to what it appears to be a complete download, but continues on, even if indicative of 100% download, for ever, if I would let it to. Only option of breaking out of this are to give up, or attempt usage of the same mirror. I have also tried to wget the povray archive, manually, and
put it in the /sw/src, then attempt another install, pointing to the
local file, but it fails when unpacking.

Here are my questions:
- how do I get past this?
- if not possible (e.g. the archive of povray being broken, perhaps, and
no other mirror available for use), could I "unbundle" it from the
bundle-kde-ssl, and still move on with the rest?
- any other suggestions?!?

I had no problem to download and build povray-3.61-2 just now. The
download command that fink used was
curl -f -L -P - -O
ftp://ftp.povray.org/pub/povray/Official/Unix/povray-3.6.1.tar.bz2

Thanks for reply, Martin - still same odd problem in my case. I did another fink selfupdate --> update-all (in the hope something of last minute was
missing), then again tried, and same problems (first the previous
"incomplete" file is found, choose to delete it, restart the download, get the 100% within a few seconds, but curl keeps "curling" ;) to no end (or
until CTRl-C-ing out of it)):

It is recommended that you download it again. How do you want to proceed?
(1)     Give up
(2)     Delete it and download again
(3)     Assume it is a partial download and try to continue
(4)     Don't download, use existing file

Make your choice:  [2]

Anybody having any ideas?!?
