Yep, it's not yet ready.

Nope, for Sage 7.2, you have to put the other file I linked to into the
upstream/ folder (topcom-0.17.4.tar.bz2), then Sage won't try to
download it (and hence not try to download the mirror list which fails
for you because of network / internet issues as Jeroen also mentioned).

(To get rid of the logs and temporary build directories of the failed
attempts, you can do

    rm -rvf /home/sage/sage-7.2/logs/pkgs/{optional,topcom,TOPCOM}*

    rm -rvf
/home/sage/sage-7.2/local/var/tmp/sage/build/{optional,topcom,TOPCOM}*

first.)

Afterwards run './sage -i topcom'.


By the way, the newer 0.17.7 is not even for Sage 7.3, but some later
7.4.beta*.
