Hi all,

a student of mine has reported an error when trying to install a package from the gretl server yesterday evening. Initially I thought he has a problem with a certificate on his WIndows machine because he got the error code 60.

However, just trying it on my Ubuntu machine returns:

cURL error 28 (Connection timed out after 20002 milliseconds)
Terminated on error

Trying to click through the GUI to the packages in the server, returns:

cURL error 6 (Could not resolve host: gretl.sourceforge.net)

This sounds very much like a problem at the other end. SourceForge isn't always very responsive. Could you tell your student to try now? I just tried installing a package and everything worked as expected.
