error downloading msys-1.0.11-9

[zanollim]

If I try to download from this link:

​http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/msys/msys/msys-1.0.11-9.tar.bz2

the connection is closed unexpectedly at 40% of download...

With other packages I have no problems

Works for me today, maybe an intermittent problem? If it's still a problem for you try downloading with a different program, cleaning browser cache, history, etc. Commandline wget* can be useful in this regard, as there's no history to work around.

cd /d %temp%
wget http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/msys/msys/msys-1.0.11-9.tar.bz2

Thank you for the answer. I paste here the output of wget, note that I am behind a proxy (wpad)

If I try to download ​http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/msys/msys/msys-1.0.11-8.tar.bz2 --> same problem

If I try to download ​http://download.osgeo.org/osgeo4w/release/msys/msys/msys-1.0.11-10.tar.bz2 --> download works perfectly!

very curious. I'm guessing it has something to do with the proxy, but why it would be okay with one file and not another I don't know. I put a copy on another site,​http://minus.com/miN8E9Mhk/, can you successfully download this one?

No, same problem, but if I try to download from another place (with no proxy) all the downloads are OK! So, as you say, it could be a problem related to the proxy.

The problem was related to the proxy, sorry for this ticket :)
