pupget acting up in 2.13..wont download..failed

#1 Post by jonyo »

'Been a bit buzy & just getting back to puppy. Maaaan, still can't get over how FAST puppy is after coming off some other (they all feel like) dinosaur systems, linuxs' included.

Wait wait wait, wait wait wait..sloooow...

Some real good suff I stumbled on too with pup & will pass along but ..

Want to try to deal with this pupget prob here on this laptop.

Doesn't want to download anything..all downloads failing (red box showing)

Forget what may have led to it.

Thoughts?

May just start over; nothing much going on on this setup.

jonyo,

i think you'll have to provide a few more clues at to which pups are failing, maybe the loacation you're dloading from, maybe pupversion & setup....i mean could it be the insufficient space thing with pupversion2xx cdrom/frugal setup?

Maybe you use a network proxy.

No network proxy prob.. don't even know what that is :lol:

I think I started this lap (gateway mx3410) with live cd 2.12 & am now on live cd 2.13. Downloaded a bunch of stuff from pupget, lotsa fiddlin & stuff... & at this point..any download attempt from pupget results in a "failed download"..have no clue why.

One main prob i discovered was that I had saved (the original..from the start) the 'pup save file' to a partition, on this laptop, that is reserved for restoring win xp. (verbotten)

Didn't know what to do about that. :roll:

..bottom line.. decided to move the pup save file(s?) from the "verbotten" partition to the main partition.

Prob it's all messed up :cry:

Is this a new problem, started today? If so, see this thread:

Haven't used this laptop for at least a wk...could be more. Didn't have any probs before though (the odd thing yes). Had a look at the link provided.

Bottom line, all downloads failing; either from nluug.nl or ibiblio.org.

I'll try another laptop..see what happens.

Tried the other laptop & same thing.
Same setup, live cd 2.13
Called it pupget but should've said PETget & PET packages.
