I guess the fact that the admin who caused the problem is unknown is a problem in itself. > Would your suggestion have such error from happening? I don't know. It might have, depending on what it was. :) I wouldn't make a suggestion without finding out more about the implementation. It has been suggested in the past that we might want to create mirrors. That *would* have helped in this situation. Please understand that I'm not trying to criticize anyone. PyPI is a great system, when it works.
