pkg: Maximum number of network retries exceeded during download. Details follow:
Transfer from 'http://pkg.opensolaris.org/release' failed: Read error
on tar stream. (happened 4 times)

This particular oddity has been reported before, and I'm beginning to wonder if it isn't hiding a more serious, subtle failure.

I've verified that I can receive SUNWPython from pkg.opensolaris.org/release using pkgrecv, which uses the same mechanism that the client currently does to retrieve the package content.

As such, I'm currently at a loss as to what could cause this specific package to fail.

The only thought that comes to mind is whether a proxy is being used?
