Ooh... vague bell ringing. I've reported before on a bug that can occur when drs is downloaded using a browser, but then run *only* from the command line. Try starting DrScheme by double-clicking on the icon, and see whether that signals an interesting error. There's a funny check that OS X applies to applications downloaded from the internet, and running these applications from the command-line sidesteps the "are you sure you want to run this application" warning, and it's concievable to me that such applications might not be allowed to make telnet connections.
This is all total supposition. I think that to test it I would download a fresh version of DrS, start it from the command-line, and see whether auto-planet-downloading works.

If it helps, this is what planet's is doing to download the file (run the code in the module language and the url shouldn't have any whitespace in it, just in case my or your email chops up the lines). #lang scheme (require net/url) (call/input-url (string->url"http://planet.plt-scheme.org/servlets/planet-servlet.ss?lang=%224.2.3.2%22&name=%22tiles.plt%22&maj=1&min-lo=14&min-hi=%23f&path=%28%22sbloch%22%29 ")get-pure-port (lambda (port) (read-line port))) RobbyOn Sun, Nov 22, 2009 at 9:58 PM, Jordan Johnson <j...@fellowhuman.com> wrote:Hi Robby, In Safari it works, though again, in DrScheme (require (planet sbloch/tiles:1:14)) fails (and so does the old-style require). jmj On Nov 22, 2009, at 2:54 PM, Robby Findler wrote:jmj, Steve: What happens if you try to visit the relevant link in your web browser?
