RE: Perennial problem with setup


In fact, it actually appears to be a mirror site dependent thing.
mirrors.rcn.net causes the reported fail, whereas using ftp.mirror.ac.uk
worked fine. I also noticed that many packages are much more up to date at
ftp.mirror.ac.uk than at mirrors.rcn.net, which i found surprising.
