And yet for example if I let wget use its default 'user-agent' value, it's quite easy to hit 'connection refused' messages: and a second or so later I issue the same command but with the 'user-agent' value either spoofed to a common browser string, or set to empty string, and get through OK: and a second or so later if I use same command line but with 'user-agent' value again as wget default, then it's quite easy to hit 'connection refused' again. > > > And if I bypass > > dns-cache and use 'archive.linuxfromscratch.org' then is OK sometimes, but > > very > > often get 'cannot resolve' errors. > > Add to /etc/hosts > > 192.155.86.174 archives.linuxfromscratch.org > > You may also want to edit /etc/resolv.conf > > domain linuxfromscratch.org > nameserver 8.8.8.8 > nameserver 8.8.4.4 > > The nameservers are Google.

Is it possible to have the 'museum' stuff included in the mirrors? The likes of 'http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/' does get mirrored (ref e.g. 'http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/lfs/lfs-packages/'), and it contains 6.1.1 onwards. Why not just go right back to the earliest versions? Some might say that anything as 'old' as, say, 6.5 should be in museum (some would say anything older than last week). Wouldn't it be better just to have everything all in the one place, or at least every version mirrored? > > I've seen no access problem at all. How many hops does traceroute show > for you?
