Actually you only need to checkout 3 things: - apertium/lttoolbox/ - apertium/apertium/ - a language pair, f.ex apertium/apertium-ne-en/ If you actually have succeeded in checking out the whole, then thats definately a proof that MPP's internec connection is OK :-) Anyway, I can bring a ZIP file with the necesary parts of the repository. > > > Specifically, I have had problems with the following: > > nep...@nepalinux:source$ svn cleanup apertium > svn: In directory 'apertium/webspace/common/xml' > svn: Error processing command 'modify-wcprop' in > 'apertium/webspace/common/xml' > svn: 'apertium/webspace/common/xml/es-ca-lr-trie.xml' is not under version > contr ol > Yes, there are some very big files there.

I also depends on if there is electricty in MPP that day and if the internet connection is used very much by others or not.
