[Popcon-developers] Bug#791750: Connection reset by peer when downloading http://popcon.debian.org/by_inst.gz

[Michael Stapelberg]

Package: popularity-contest
Version: 1.61
Severity: normal

I noticed that as of 2015/07/06 19:23:24 UTC, I cannot download
http://popcon.debian.org/by_inst.gz anymore. From different hosts
(paradis.debian.org, also my personal machines) I get:

stapelberg at paradis /tmp $ /usr/bin/wget -S -O/dev/null

…until it eventually gives up.

Can you please take a look at what the problem is? Thank you.
