Hi. Having a problem with puredata.info. I'm trying to access https://msp.puredata.info/Software/pd-0.54-0.src.tar.gz, but it's failing. The only link on the releases page for 0.54-0 that works for me is Debian because it is hosted elsewhere. Just want to make sure the maintainers know. Maybe the problem is with Miller's server?
most likely: somewhat.
msp.puredata.info is just a proxy to offer https:// connections to the real (miller's) server is http://msp.ucsd.edu/
it seems that the ucsd.edu firewall is currently blocking the proxy requests (most likely due to an excessive amount of requests).
i'll probably turn the proxy into a redirect (but not before tomorrow morning), so people can at least download via http:// (if their browsers allow it)
ideally, msp.ucsd.edu would be reachable directly via https://, then we wouldn't need a proxy at all.
