Please explain "because it is Windows". What, architecturally speaking, makes <i>
Windows</i> "connection problems impossible to debug over the line", what operating system(s)
<i>do </i>allow one to successfully "debug connection problems over the line", and what is the architectural difference between the two ?<br>

Installation failed.</i></blockquote>
the diagnostics are confusing; line 1 says that it is attempting to remove <i>C:\Users\PHILIP~1\AppData\Local\Temp\RPAddWJRpP\nKUKULiiZu/spectralsequences.tar.xz
</i>but saving a copy in <i>C:\Users\PHILIP~1\AppData\Local\Temp\csOK_gsvQ6, </i>
whilst line 2 says that "<i>downloading did not succeed</i>" and goes on to say that "<i>check_file_and_remove failed".
</i>The transcript makes no mention as to what error(s) occurred during the attempt to "<i>check_file_and_remove</i>" — are these errors logged, and if so, where ? And since "<i>check_file_and_remove</i>" would appear to be operating solely on local files,
where do "connection problems" come into the matter ?
<p></p>
<p>Finally I repeat my original question: "If I "Re-run the installer [to] try to restart the installation", will it re-try just the failed part or will it need to download all 4313 packages again ?"<br>
