Re: Issues Connecting to alextgalileo.altervista.org

Hi Alex

I am still having problems. I was down for a while (forgot to unplug the USB cable while testing the new distribution and bricked the Galileo, so had to order another), and am trying your repository again. I am using the updated script,

src all http://alextgalileo.altervista.org/pkgrepo/all
src clanton http://alextgalileo.altervista.org/pkgrepo/clanton
src i586 http://alextgalileo.altervista.org/pkgrepo/i586

but still can't get i586 to download (in fact often had none succeed and usually have to try twice to even get the process to start. See below)

It seems that wget has problems, even when not part of the update process. Is there any way to increase the number of attempts? It is all very strange. I know Vietnam is a long way away from Altervista.org, but I have no problem downloading your file on other machines.

I think I will try to set up a local repository on the University LAN on a Raspberry Pi or Yun, since I have both. If you have any advice on how to set up a mirrored repository I would appreciate it.

Thanks much
