http://gpo.zugaina.org/eix_cache/eix-cache.tbz2 So the same as yours. So either it's a problem with routing from you to the server or there's some sort of user-agent checking to stop people randomly using wget ;-) No, it's not that, wget worked from here. The other question is: why are you using wget when eix already has the facility to download and import this file built in. -- Neil Bothwick I am Speedy Gonzales of Borg: Prepare to be accelerated!
