Faxien uses ibrowse for fetching things and it does seem to be very
susceptible to network issues.  Sometimes faxien will fail to pull a
package but if you simply retry the fetch it will work. One thing to
try if you run into this situation is to up the timeout for pulling
packages. If you run 'faxien env' you will see how long your timeout
is, then you can run 'faxien help commands' to find out what the
command is for upping the fetch timeout value - set it to something
quite high and try again - the problem should be resolved.
