Hi! A newcomer here. I just finished wget'ing the whole deal (via dialup) about 9:45pm last night. Ninja worked a couple days ago *for me*. It does NOT now. I'm receiving similar error message as above. I got excited when I saw the "302 found" advisement while waiting for it to churn on over, but that must just be about connecting up with the primary github location early on. You could try a mirror. I keep forgetting where the shorter lists of those are found. I *did* just this morning find a nice reference on our book's appendices/acknowledgments.html page. To use the acknowledgments list, you have to possibly do a quick search to find the absolute path to the primary repository then go from there. Some of those acknowledgments' mirror references end up being a homepage which can then *sometimes* point you to the path you need, too. Even with a list in hand, it's still hunt-n-peck to find a successful hit. We're now working in a realm where things move at a faster pace... as evidenced by chatter in that other thread regarding the release of 8.3-RC2, I think it was. Forgive me, I *giggled* at that one. :) Hope that helps! See you all out here..
