Can someone tell me the reason this ALWAYS happens:
cpan> r CPAN: Storable loaded ok Going to read /Users/jd/.cpan/Metadata Database was generated on Sun, 05 Dec 2004 01:49:28 GMT LWP not available CPAN: Net::FTP loaded ok Fetching with Net::FTP: ftp://cpan.etla.org/pub/CPAN/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz Couldn't fetch 01mailrc.txt.gz from cpan.etla.org
...and so on until finally, after many minutes, something happens.
I can download the file in a second or two with an ftp client, so what is the problem?
