#41452: Fetching distfiles will inexplicably hang in Mavericks ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Reporter: elfprince13@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 2.2.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: | ----------------------------+-------------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): Hmm. Well, MacPorts sets the following curl options: {{{ #define _CURL_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT ((long)(30)) /* 30 seconds */ #define _CURL_MINIMUM_XFER_SPEED ((long)1024) /* 1KB/sec */ #define _CURL_MINIMUM_XFER_TIMEOUT ((long)(60)) /* 1 minute */ }}} This means the connection will be aborted (and another mirror tried) if: * it takes more than 30 seconds to establish the connection to the server, or * the transfer is going at less than 1KB/sec for one minute Based on this, I assume that your transfers are not stalled, but are merely running very slowly. You could do the installs with the `-d` flag to see download progress, or you could look in the distfiles directory and see the size of the file increase. Not sure why the transfer speed would be higher when using Firefox. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41452#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
