$ fetch http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~peper/distfiles/libopensync-0.20.tar.gz Timed out, no metadata for 0 seconds Doesn't seem to work for me.
That would be because you need [-t or --timeout number of seconds without data before giving up (less than 0 means don't time out)]. Fetch gives that error anytime it's not there. I emerged it on a PIII system and get the same behavior. Apparently the default is 0. paul@Optimus ~ $ fetch -t 1 http://dev.gentooexperimental.org/~peper/distfiles/libopensync-0.20.tar.gz Downloaded 681064 bytes Writing to file: libopensync-0.20.tar.gz paul@Optimus ~ $ md5sum libopensync-0.20.tar.gz c685e69929333a763c51987b4a19d50d libopensync-0.20.tar.gz paul@Optimus ~ $
Thanks for the info. I have added the keyword as it works with the timeout set not to 0.
