Has anyone else noticed a problem fetching the git tarball from kernel.org? I can do so

outdated".

I was hoping it was some misbehavior of kernel.org but this has been trouble 
for a couple of days now. Any suggestions for debugging this?
That does sound like misbehavior of that server. Have you talked to them about 
it?

MacPorts eventually gives up on servers that are delivering files too slowly, 
so if you just wait, it should eventually either finish downloading (if it’s 
just going slowly), or re-try from a different server.


The installation of git-core is working now. I'm not sure what the underlying issue was, but at some point (after I first started this thread) I was having trouble getting DNS resolution of www.kernel.org and some other sites.

A reboot seemed to fix the problems :( and MacPorts is now updating successfully :)

Thanks for the help!
