If the freedesktop servers are an issue, you also can try the MIT server at ftp.x.org:
ftp://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/xserver/ http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/xserver/ both work and may have different timeout settings. I've also verified that the http server at ftp.x.org accepts ranges, so wget -c should work there for both ftp and http: :; curl -I http://ftp.x.org/pub/individual/xserver/xorg-server-1.13.1.tar.bz2 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Date: Tue, 25 Dec 2012 03:35:36 GMT Server: Apache/2.2.9 (Debian) PHP/5.2.6-1+lenny16 with Suhosin-Patch mod_python/3.3.1 Python/2.5.2 mod_ssl/2.2.9 OpenSSL/0.9.8g Last-Modified: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:47:40 GMT ETag: "8e001f-539c6a-4d0d6fb079700" Accept-Ranges: bytes Content-Length: 5479530 Content-Type: application/x-bzip2 Connection: keep-alive And it looks like the reason http://xorg.freedesktop.org/ no longer supports ranges is that it now has a varnish cache between the apache and the clients: :; curl -I http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/xserver/xorg-server-1.13.1.tar.bz2 HTTP/1.1 200 OK Server: Apache/2.2.16 (Debian) Last-Modified: Fri, 14 Dec 2012 21:47:40 GMT ETag: "318b75-539c6a-4d0d6fb0e5c57" Content-Type: application/x-bzip2 Content-Length: 5479530 Date: Tue, 25 Dec 2012 03:37:11 GMT X-Varnish: 588409036 Age: 0 Via: 1.1 varnish Connection: keep-alive Varnish must block the range and probably is responsible for the mid-download timeout. The MIT server does not have the cache in the way. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ xdg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xdg
