Right now: ---> Fetching ruby ---> Attempting to fetch ruby-1.8.7-p22.tar.bz2 from http:// distfiles.macports.org/ruby It's fetching at about 4KB/sec. My wireless signal strength is at maximum and it's the same if I put my MacBook Pro very near the access point. I'm on a Time Warner cable modem in San Antonio, TX. While this distfile is loading, I can view web pages from www.apple.com transferring at 200KB/sec so the problem is not at my end. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
