Annoying problem when downloading packages

The problem started some time ago. When downloading packages, pacman only downloads a few packages at a time and errors out on the remaining ones with the "Service not available, closing control connection" message. If I try again, it will download the next few packages and error out again. I can repeat this until all packages are downloaded and then install them successfully, but this is certainly annoying. The number of downloaded packages is not always constant, but about the same each time and it seems to differ from mirror to mirror (kernel.org ~8, tu-chemnitz.de ~3).
Unfortunately I cannot say exactly when it started happening, but I guess a few months ago. At first I thought it could be the mirror acting weird, but I don't think this is the case now. Before that, I had no problems at all.
My network works just fine in all other cases, so I doubt the problem is there.

that error is because of:  http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/20371
just use http over ftp and it would be fine

    windows 8.1 account limit problem when downloading from store        
    I have 250 windows 8.1 tablets.
    I figured since you can use the same account on 81 devices id create 4 accounts.
    I need to download more than 25 free apps from the store
    on each tablet. Putting the same account don't work. (comes up with an error after putting on to many devices that you cant use this account now).
    Whats the best way to do this ? and what if I need to download a paid app ?
    Thank You.

  • TS5179 I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update (PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it. #out of space...??)

    I've been bitten by the "Missing MSVCR.dll file" problem when downloading the latest iTunes update, 11.4.62 (on a PC w/ Win-7 & Outlook-2007#. 'Have followed Apple's instructions of un-installing all Apple software, and re-installing it (Ugh).  First result Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there.  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I have two iCloud contact files shown in outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively. 
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ

    Interesting response, Kappy  -  Back to original post: "First result: Outlook couldn't find my 1,385 item contact file in iCloud, although the outlook distribution lists were there (therefore, initially I had lost my contact file from Outlook).  Second result, upon installing iCloud again, I now have two iCloud contact files shown in Outlook - "iCloud" & iCloud, within iCloud".  W/ 1,332 & 1,385 contacts respectively.  
    Plus an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  This is NOT fun at 72-yrs old...!!
    So, how do I make sure I haven't lost anythying from Outlook?   Russ-AZ"
    You can safely assume that I have tried using it!   So, to make things a little clearer:
         1)  I now have two iCloud "contacts files", w/ a different total count. What's the difference?  Why the different toatl count?
         2)  Since re-installing the Apple software (part of the MSVCR" recovery instructions) "couldn't possible affected Outlook", why am I getting an iCloud installation error message saying iCloud moved 6,835 files to a "deleted items folder" somewhere.  What's in those files? And where are they?
    Probably more important questions get down to:
         3)  Why is a basic Apple product upgrade "screwing-up Outlook"?  This iTunes upgrade, failing to install properly forced Outlook 2007 into a 2-min start-up cycle.  Which was fixed with this "Goat-Rpdeo" of re-installing MSVCR80.dll.
         4)  And under the latest release of iOS-7.0.4 on our iPhones, why is Apple now forcing us to use the iCloud to back-up our contacts, calendars & tasks, vs. allowing these files to be backed-up directly on our PC's via the USB cable?
    Thanks again for your interest and comments.  - Russ-AZ

  • Problems when downloading a podcast

    Hi,
    I need help on what to do when I get a error message when downloading a podcast. To be specific, the Mad Money Jim Cramer's Podcast.
    When I try to download the podcast, the message that appears is: "There was a problem downloading, Authorization is needed to access, http://release.theplatform.com/release/content.mp4?pid=JY98jfsO...."
    How can I fix this??

    i tried going to the website and it tells me tha the media is not available. then i tried going the the main website (http://release.theplatform.com/) and it asks me to login with a user name and password. so, if you are trying to download the podcast from this link it is probably not available anymore.

  • UNICODE Problem when Download to TXT/ASC file.

    Dear Experts,
    Due to the Unicode system takes each chinese character as a byte, the field(10) can take 10 Chinese Characters, not like before only 5 characters allowed.
    The problem is when the data is downloaded to a txt file, the field ,length 10, contained Characters, is displayed 10 chinese characters(that's 20 bytes in txt file). It causes the displayed field length are varied between the definition length of field and the actual output.
    ex.
    102’†•¶ŽšŒ^‘ª00012345       --> the output I actully want.
    102’†•¶ŽšŒ^‘ª     000012345  --> unicode makes this in txt file, lenth 10, fill 5 characters but still leave 5 space.
    How to make system take the chinese characters as 2 bytes when download....or any other better idea for this?
    anyone who can solve this, that's life saving..!!!
    thanks in advnace.

    Sorry, the chinese chararcters cannot display properly,
    so just assume each '@' as a chinese character. Five chinese Characters should occupy whole field length(10),
    but Unicode makes it like line 2, still leave 5 space culomn behind(using  to represent the empty column).
    ex.
    102@@@@@00012345      --> the output I actully want.
    102@@@@@000012345 -- the actual output.
    thanks.

    Hi Prashant and Uwe,
    Thanks for your help. I used 'GUI_UPLOAD', but it still doesn't work.
    'Text1' still equal to '12@@@@@00012' , not '12@@@@@'
    My test problem as below:
    data: l_file type string.
            text1(20) type c.
    DATA: BEGIN OF T_FICH OCCURS 0,
             LIGNE(5000),
          END OF T_FICH.
      l_file = P_SOURCE.
      CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
           EXPORTING
                FILENAME            = l_file
               FILETYPE            = 'ASC'
               HAS_FIELD_SEPARATOR = 'X'
               Read_By_Line        = 'X'
                CODEPAGE            = '8400'

  • Problem when downloading the JAR file

    I'm just install JRE and testing my first applet application. I'm facing the problem that I can not download the JAR file from my localhost computer.
    I've enable cache in Java Control Panel and running my applet. Normally, it will download the jar file from my localhost and save it to the cache directory of Java. And then finding all classes neccessary to run my applet in the JAR file.
    But I discover that I can not download the JAR file and save to my computer. I try to put the URL to download this JAR file (http://localhost/myjar.jar) in my web address, it start to download this file properly. But when open it with WINRAR, I got an error that the file "Unexpected end of file".
    I try to put this file from onther computer in my LAN. And use the URL to download it. This time I can open the JAR file with WINRAR althrought the file size is the same
    Anyone know why there are some errors when download from my localhost? Thanks in advance for any help!!!

    Yeah everything matches up!
    Could it have something to do with the string encoding? I created the file in ANSI format? Would this have an effect on it?

  • Consistent annoying problem when compiling and installing Apache modules.

    Every time I build and install mod_jk for Apache (Since binaries are no longer available for Apache 1.3.x on Mac OS X, we have to build it ourselves.), everything goes smoothly until the final 'sudo make install,' and then it finishes with:
    Libraries have been installed in:
    /usr/libexec
    Which is nice, but they're supposed to be installed in /usr/libexec/httpd in Mac OS X. (I don't know if this is a problem for Mac OS X Server too, but I'm using regular old Mac OS X 10.4.10, so I'm posting this here.)
    I'm using this when I call configure:
    % ./configure --with-apxs=/usr/sbin/apxs
    and /usr/sbin/apxs says:
    my $CFG_LIBEXECDIR = q(/usr/libexec/httpd);
    but the resulting Makefile says:
    libexecdir=${APACHE_DIR}/libexec
    So it appears to be ignoring the definition from apxs. It also appears that the definition of libexecdir appears to be variable only up until libexec. It looks like you can't tell it to use a subdirectory.
    It's easy enough to just move the installed files into the httpd directory, with sudo mv /usr/libexec/mod_jk.* usr/libexec/httpd, but it's a little annoying to have to remember to do this every time I upgrade mod_jk.
    Has anybody else run into this with this or other modules? Is it a bug that should be reported to either Apple or Apache? Does anybody have a better solution than moving the files?

  • I am having a problem when downloading a file. What can I do?

    Today (April 8, 2011) when I tried to download a file (.zip) firefox froze. When firefox got to the download window (i.e where you choose to save the file onto you computer) it froze. It wouldn't save the file, nor would it let me close the download window and cancel the download. This has happen twice this year. I had to force quit the program. I am on the latest version of Mac OS X and firefox 3.6.16.

    the report can be produced after those variable is submitted, and clik 'Go' button.
    The problem is when i want to download the report into csv file after i submit those variables, i got a blank csv.
    is it a bug in Apex 4.1 or i miss something ? i need help you all guys.
    thanks a lot.
    Edited by: sureucando on Oct 30, 2012 1:59 AM

    It is more likely an error before generating the report in CSV, I'm having the same problem trying to generate a CSV report showing information with a column of list items in it, when I hide or change the values (remove the list, just leave the values) this column, the report is fine. only happens when I have the list item column shown and with the list displayed.

  • A very disturbing Safari 6 problem when downloading files

    After downloading a file from Hubspot.com, this is what I see when clicking on the Show Downloads button on Safari 6. This is actually the third time it's happened. I did a clean install of OS X 10.8 to see if the problem would go away. Sadly, it didn't.
    Is anyone experiencing the same problem?
