For the purpose of experimenting with NDP I went through the process of getting the GHC head from darcs.haskell.org. As specified in the developer wiki[1], using darcs get is basically not possible because there're so many patches. So I downloaded
http://darcs.haskell.org/ghc-HEAD-2008-06-06-ghc-corelibs-testsuite.tar.bz2
This alone took over *7 hours* using wget because it could never get a connection faster than 5kb/s.
darcs.haskell.org is still being throttled. The server move means the machine itself has more bandwidth but the apache http server is still configured to limit connection speed. I believe this is supposed to change at some point but I don't know when. I've no idea about what's going on with darcs though. I know there are some issues with case-insensitive file systems or as you speculate it might be a darcs 1 vs 2 issue. Ask a darcs expert. Duncan
