Hi Paulo,
Not all the time, but most of it:
Has anything changed with the network on your end?
That's the first thing that comes to mind.
http://repositorios.cpai.unb.br/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet
I can't visit that url in a browser. I suspect something is wrong on
that host. I suggest specifying a different mirror (not www.ctan.org)
explicitly.
--repository=http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet
I'm not sure that works. There is some kind of automagic redirection
when trying to download from www.ctan.org. ftp://ftp.ctan.org instead
of http://www.ctan.org might be a worthwhile attempt for testing.
Is it something to get worried or just a temporary issue?
Nothing has changed wrt ctan or tug.org, to my knowledge. No one else
has reported such connectivity problems recently. -k
