Fw: PEAR Downtime Problem

Maybe we need to look into this.

Pear would download the error and then think it had completed the package, even storing it in the local temp directory and not re-downloading later. Perhaps next time we should be sending 404 on the packages, or some custom return string that PEAR will handle gracefully. If you need a hand with that, let me know - would be more than happy to help out. I am sure that the problem I saw with the packages being downloaded was being experienced by people all over the world - it took me a while to figure out why all the package downloads were 6-7KB :) Cheers, Nik -- Regards/Mit freundlichen Grüßen Christian Weiske
