"Downloading inits, kernels, and the fog client" Fails most of the time.

Trying to reinstall from trunk, the install script fails at:

Attempting to redownload init_32.xz.........................Failed!

This happens way more often than it succeeds. I am not behind a proxy and we have a 50 meg connection. Where are these files coming from?

@LibraryMark Can your fog server resolve internet names reliably? (i.e. www.fogproject.org)

FWIW: the fog installer uses a modify version of this command to get the inits. wget -P /var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe/ https://fogproject.org/inits/init.xz

Thanks for the reply. I meant my comment to be more informational than anything else. I see from searching this topic that it happens to other folks, too.

I just ran that command and it finished in 3.4 seconds at 5.24MB/s. I tried it again and it’s still running at 116KB/s with an ETA of 6 minutes.

Pinging www.fogproject.org brought back 192.213.199.177.

Possibly the project just needs a bit more money to be able to afford a server with a more reliable connection… All the companies using FOG would like to donate 10 bugs each??
