problems downloading django
Michael K
in a while, but I've come across a strange issue. Pardon if this is
going to the wrong place.
I tried to download the TAR file(s) for releases, but I get a ~5Mb
corrupted tar.gz from the website. With this in mind, I tried the
SVN, and here's what that resulted in:
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/django/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/django/trunk': Could not resolve hostname
`code.djangoproject.com': The requested name is valid and was found in
the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being
resolved for. (http://code.djangoproject.com)
Here's the thing - I can browse it, so I think the "resolve hostname"
may be a misnomer. It says it can find it, but something's "missing".
Help?

the commands necessary for it to work).
However, that still leaves me unable to download the release packages.
Does anyone know of a mirror site that might let me download the
packages?

downloaded. On finishing the download, I was able to checksum it and
get the same results as the signed checksum document provided at the
time of the release:
http://media.djangoproject.com/pgp/Django-1.1.1.checksum.txt
Thus, the problem is most likely not with anything on
djangoproject.com; instead, it's probably something related to your
own Internet connection.

My first assumption was that it was my network connection, but I've
had no issues downloading from any other site - just
djangoproject.com.
It's been a couple of days, I'll try it again.
Thanks for the response!

Still having the same issue. I'm on a windows machine, but even if I
use wget on one of the Solaris machines, the TAR is reported as having
no files and/or is corrupted.
Is there another download location I can try?

James,
Thanks for the response on this, it made me think of something else to
try - a different web browser. It seems Chrome beta doesn't like
something about the delivery of the tar.gz. When I used IE, the file
opened first try.
I also realized the problem with the wget is the same as my SVN issue
- except in this case, the Solaris machines are blocked from using the
proxy server in question. Once I changed the environment to point to
the appropriate one, I also got the file from there.
Sorry to waste the bandwidth, but hopefully someone will search for
download issues - and if they're running Chrome, they'll know what's
up.
