Additional info: notice, gambas is in extras, I downloaded the sqlite rpm and was able to install it with rpm -i <sqlitepackage.rpm>
The ftp server in question or your proxy doesn't allow ftp-based byte-ranges. Hence the policy restriction on REST So you'd be able to download the whole package but not a specific part, something that yum must be able to do. Talk to the mirror admin about allowing restarted downloads (REST) or use a different mirror
I wish I can have a say to all mirrors of fedora extras site managers, but this is not my job. There should be a stricter policy set upstage from whom ever is making mirroring rules for fedora extras -- otherwise they shouldn't be in the list. If i'm getting more than 1 502 error and from a different server listed from the fedora project mirror list-- then this sort of thing should be forward to all ftp or htpp site maintainers. I'm not sure who I can forward to, so I'm hoping someone can feedback as to whom can enforce this policy. james (In reply to comment #1) > The ftp server in question or your proxy doesn't allow ftp-based byte-ranges. > Hence the policy restriction on REST > > So you'd be able to download the whole package but not a specific part, > something that yum must be able to do. > > Talk to the mirror admin about allowing restarted downloads (REST) or use a > different mirror
