[tex-live] Errors messages installing/updating TL2013

[Lars Madsen]

how exactly are you updating?

I'm running on Linux and using tlmgr in commandline mode I hardly ever see any connection errors.

For some reason today tlmgr desided to use a Dutch mirror.

no hickups what so ever.

So it might be useful to know a little bit more about your setup

You see this on both cygwin and Mac OS X?

Really I use other mirrors.. I tried that only to verify if I got the
same error/warning messages I flagged... and indeed they occur also from
tug.org...


Ciao,
