[tex-live] Error installing install-tl-unx.tar.gz

[Newman, Chuck]

Yes, I still get the same error, although the /tmp filename is different.  Below is what I got just now.  Yes, there is a proxy server that I have to go through.

Hi Chuck,

Is this reproducible? I just tried myself with the very same
mirror and didn't have any problems.

It seems that the download of the tlpdb.xz file failed.

Can you please retry and see if it works?

Do you have any proxies or filters on the way?

All the rest is just a continuation of the problems above.
