That's because I'm able to get it without any problems here in my
office (Oracle India) where we *had* a pretty fat pipe till this
morning - the massive Algerian earthquake has destroyed the
undersea cables that used to give us this connection. :-(
At home I am on a pathetically slow and unreliable dial-up
connection that makes it well nigh impossible to get anything
like a GCC tarball and CVS keeps breaking off in the middle.
That's why I depend on the weekly GCC snapshots (diffs)
to keep me up to date.
For obvious reasons, I can work on GCJ only when I'm at home.
Ranjit.
