Try:

cabal fetch binary -v3

It should give you plenty of detail on the HTTP conversation. Could you also file a ticket pointing out how useless the default error message is when the download fails. We should at least tell the user the HTTP error code.

fetch -v3 output below. Seems to be trying to use a proxy, but that's not necessary as the machine is "directly" connected (via a router).

It's using the IE proxy information from the registry. Check the IE "internet settings". If you think it's wrong that it's using it then file a ticket, I mean for example if it were using the proxy when the settings say that the proxy is disabled. Duncan
