Need Help!Fail to "python client.py checkout"

[she...@gmail.com]

Hi all,
I want to get Thunderbird resoure and build it by myself.
I can get some codes by "hg clone <location of repository> src".
By When I get other codes of mozilla by "python client.py checkout",it fail again and again.
There is the callstack:
$ python client.py checkout
Executing command: ['hg', 'pull', '-R', '.\\.']
pulling from http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/comm-esr17
searching for changes
no changes found
Executing command: ['hg', 'update', '-r', 'default', '-R', '.\\.']
0 files updated, 0 files merged, 0 files removed, 0 files unresolved
Updated to revision 17a3b0e4c833d3dc6ae23522295d34214e196886.
Executing command:
['hg', 'clone', 'http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla-esr17
/', '.\\mozilla']
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: connection ended unexpectedly
The exception was:
subprocess.CalledProcessError:
Command '['hg', 'clone', 'http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/
mozilla-esr17/', '.\\mozilla']' returned non-zero exit status -1
Sometimes,It aborts after "adding file changes".And some after "adding manifests".
How can I fix it?Or is there any other way to download mozilla codes?

Need your help!Please!THX

BR,
Mike

Hi, similar problems happened to me several times in the past.
But they invariably disappeared over time, and so the root cause was never
determined.
If you can hook up your computer to a different network (different ISP,
different router, etc.), that may be worth trying.

Or you can use a bundle (see below) and hope that the future upgrade
works as expected.

The following is quoted from a post I wrote on May 30, 2011, with the
subject line of :
Re: Anyone seeing the similar problem: Re: mozilla checkout problem? :
"python client.py checkout" error after cloning comm-central.
