Hi, Andrew & Matt. Thanks for contacting me. I'm not presently aware of any problems with mirror.cs.princeton.edu, but am looking out for them. If I read our logs correctly, I take it you are coming to us from 128.187.81.254. I see a few incomplete downloads in the log, but that is not surprising. There are a few instances where your connections are getting denied because the server has reached its connection limit. I don't know if anaconda handles that situation gracefully, but if it doesn't, that could explain your problem. Unfortunately, our central IT compels us to restrict the connections to our mirror server at some level. Matt: does this mean we shouldn't be published in the round-robin? If so, we'll need to find a way to address it somehow or other.
