I have been seeing much slower updates for various packages and situations, but I haven't had downloads completely fail, so far. Here's why some downloads have been slow: The package server hasn't been updating its catalog, so the checksum reported by the catalog are out of sync with the HEAD commit of some repos. Due to the way the Git protocol works, that sometimes causes the repo download to pull 10 times as much data (e.g, for "typed-racket-lib"). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
