bug#17879: 24.3.92; package-refresh-contents hangs at contacting host melpa.milbox.net:80

[Jan D.]

Hi.

I debugged this and Emacs does read from all hosts.
But the message in the minibuffer (Contacting host: melpa.milbox.net:80) is not 
removed when Emacs has finished taking to melpa.milbox.net:80.
