Subject: pkg install from forge in windows

 

Before I start looking at it, does anyone else have any issues with pkg install forge in Windows (Im running 4.2.0, however it happens in other versions as well)

 

If I try to install a forge package say:

 

pkg install bsltl –forge

 

I get:

 

error: pkg: could not download file bsltl-1.1.1.tar.gz from url http://packages.octave.org/download/bsltl-1.1.1.t

ar.gz

error: called from

    pkg at line 389 column 13

 

If I run the command repeatedly, it sometimes works ok, more often not

 

Running on  a linux box, I dont have that issue – it could be some network settings issue on my windows machine, so anyone else seeing a similar issue?
