[Msys2-users] Installation consistently fails

[David A. C. <sup...@co...>]

Every attempt to install MSYS2 ends with all(?) downloads failing with a 
timeout.  Some bytes are transferred, but not much. Especially 
catastrophic are the failures to fetch the *.db files; as a result, my 
installation doesn't even know about important packages (like the gcc 
toolchains).

I have tried this several times now.  In each case, I clean all remnants 
of the previous installation.

The latest failure is recorded (which shows that installing "script" 
worked just fine).
