At first, I thought firefox was trying to parse 'package-list.xml.lzma' as an XML file, but see below. > Any suggestions ? Could it be a problem with this specific mirror site > ? How can I test with a different mirror ? If you know a server's name, try typing it in place of 'ufpr': http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get/catalogue/package-list.xml.lzma ^^^^^^ Same problem there, so I went to my favorite mirror: ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/pc/mingw/ and followed the links down to here: ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/pub/pc/mingw/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get/catalogue/ and succeeded in downloading the file, extracting it with 'lzma', and then displaying it in firefox. And, indeed, on the server you tried, I can list the directory: http://ufpr.dl.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get/catalogue/ Might this be a sourceforge problem? I tried this: http://sourceforge.net/downloads/mingw/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get/catalogue/package-list.xml.lzma/ a couple of times and got the same failure reported above, but now I try it again and it succeeds. That could be because the mirror is chosen at random: maybe some mirrors aren't up to date (the file is dated yesterday), but this one seems okay at the moment: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get/catalogue/package-list.xml.lzma?use_mirror=superb-sea2 while this one still fails: http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mingw/Automated%20MinGW%20Installer/mingw-get/catalogue/package-list.xml.lzma?use_mirror=ufpr |
