So I was installing racket yesterday and noticed that the installation was hanging on the sub-installation of a planet package. I looked at the situation, tried removing any proxies I might have set up, but nothing I could do would install that package. So I used 'raco planet url' to find the URL of the package, and then did something like this:
http_proxy= wget -c 'http://planet.racket-lang.org/servlets/planet-servlet.ss?lang=%225.0.0.1%22&name=%22date-tz.plt%22&maj=1&min-lo=0&min-hi=%23f&path=%28%22bzlib%22%29' Sure enough the file started coming in just fine, and then the server derped out somehow and left the connection hanging. I tried again, and discovered that planet does not support the HTTP Range header :c So I can partially download the file, anywhere from 10 to 20% of it, then my connection hangs. I don't think it's a problem on my side as I continue to browse other sites normally and this has been happening consistently only with planet.racket-lang.org for the last two days. Since the Range header isn't supported, I can't resume my download and have to start over every time. Ergo I cannot get the file, no matter what. A fix would be appreciated? ^.^; I dunno why it would be sending the file and just... stop partway through the connection. Out of memory error maybe? _________________________________________________ For list-related administrative tasks: http://lists.racket-lang.org/listinfo/users
