Aborting. straight, The skype server is very slow for downloading (to slow for wget).
with firefox (and a cup of tee) i can download it.
nothing we can do about poor service connections to the server. we cant mirror the file. simply try again later, find another d/l location yourself, or dont use skype. if you dont like these options, complain to skype. fwiw, wget works just fine for me on first try: $ wget http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-2.2.0.25.tar.bz2 -P /usr/portage/distfiles/ --2011-05-06 01:34:26-- http://download.skype.com/linux/skype-2.2.0.25.tar.bz2 Resolving download.skype.com... 130.117.72.44 Connecting to download.skype.com|130.117.72.44|:80... connected.
