Downloading http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/ctan/systems/texlive/tlnet/archive/c90.tar.xz
did not succeed.
The default is to retry 10 times and wait 90 seconds before giving up:
my $wgetargs = $ENV{"TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS"}
|| "--user-agent=texlive --tries=10 --timeout=90 -q -O";
If you think different settings might work better for you, you could set
the TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS environment variable accordingly, e.g ([ba]sh syntax):
TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS="--user-agent=texlive --tries=15 --timeout=200 -q -O"
export TL_DOWNLOAD_ARGS
In any event, the -q -O should always be there or it'll die a horrible
death.
Good luck,
Karl
