"curl --head" could be used to determine whether we can connect to a

Instead of using curl, why not use an internal socket
connection on "the right port(s)" for the service used to
deliver distfiles? That will be tcp/80 for most ports,
some will have different ports (svn or ftp for example).

I had the misfortune of some bad routes with my colocation provider a

with Comcast doing strange things on their routers gave me a chance to
learn a little more about checking hosts.

It was the eiffelstudio65 port, I now added another source which does
