I can get there using Firefox.........but........clicking on the link above gives me the same error message as above....clicking on above link ..after --2012-03-21 04:47:14-- gives following message
Xena,
I intend to switch to a different, faster server for downloading the addlocale archives. Can you post your output for
curl -p -I http://ftp.vim.org/ibiblio/distributions/pclinuxos/addlocale/de.txt
wget http://ftp.vim.org/ibiblio/distributions/pclinuxos/addlocale/de.txt
that may result in the same problems because I think you have dns-related problem. Do you use opendns? If not try this:
1. Open PCLinuxOS Control Center 'Configure Your Computer'
2. Select 'Network and Internet' -> 'Network Center', open your network connection and click the button 'Configure'
3. Uncheck 'Get DNS servers from DHCP'.
In the box for DNS Server 1 enter: 208.67.222.222
In the box for DNS Server 2 enter: 208.67.220.220
Click on 'OK' at the bottom right to close this dialog window.
4. Back in the Network Center window click on 'Disconnect', wait for it to finish, then click on 'Connect'.
5. Your Internet connection is now configured to use OpenDNS. Close all open PCC-windows.
then try the curl and the wget command from above again and report back the results.
-p.
