[tex-live] Fwd: Problems installing TeXlive in CentOS7

[Zdenek Wagner]

Hi,

curl does more or less the same as wget and --no-check-certificate is not
always needed. It is necessary only for accessing https servers without a
qualified certificate. I got a similar result. You can see "302 found" and
redirection to another site. I am redirected to a site in Prague and the
file is there. If you end up with "object not found", it means that you are
redirected to a mirror which is not in syc or maybe even broken. You can
try again later hoping that the mirror will be sychronized or find the list
of mirrors and select a mirror manually. wget shows the redirections but
you must add -v to see the redirections in curl. You will then see where
exactly it fails.
