<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi,</div><div><br></div><div>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.</div><div><br></div><div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Zdeněk Wagner<br><a href="http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml" target="_blank">http://ttsm.icpf.cas.cz/team/wagner.shtml</a><br><a href="http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz" target="_blank">http://icebearsoft.euweb.cz</a></div></div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">st 17. 10. 2018 v 14:44 odesílatel Philip Taylor <<a href="mailto:P.Taylor@rhul.ac.uk">P.Taylor@rhul.ac.uk</a>> napsal:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Hi,
something is blocking access to all our trials. The logs show that LWP,
curl, and wget failed :-(((
Can you try
curl --user-agent texlive/curl --location <a class="m_6853393918053285880moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512" target="_blank">http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512</a>
and show us the output?
Norbert

I don't have access to "curl" (nor do I know what it is or does) but
attempting your suggestion with "wget" yields the following success
