OK ....... here are as many of the messages as I can collect at this point in time ...I'll try again in 4 or 5 hours though & hopefully get the full message when a distfile is available but installation fails with "Error 1" I tried imap-uw on a remote 4.2 system. This is peak usage time here & our link is severely strained so I guess its not surprising both tests gave what looks like timeout problems. However I've noticed a fair number of others posting questions about "Error 1" recently which suggests to me that the cause may be overloading at ftp://freebsd.org. although the ftp login messages below certainly indicate otherwise. When I attempted to check with an FTP client that the relevant distfiles actually exist at ftp.freebsd.org I could get as far as the distfiles directory but no further before timeout. The following is the message string received. Note there were only 1018 out of a possible 5000 users which should mean that ftp.freebsd.org was NOT overloaded STATUS:> Connect: Monday 19:39:11 02-12-2001 STATUS:> Connecting to ftp.freebsd.org STATUS:> Connecting to ftp.freebsd.org (ip = 216.66.64.162) STATUS:> Socket connected.
