Hi,

why do I get the following message from using [teacup]
( from ActiveTcl8.5.8.2.292682-linux-ix86-threaded.tar.gz )

#######################
Problems which occurred during the operation:
* http://teapot.activestate.com :
Sizes not matching for compressed INDEX. The system used
slow(er) remote queries to keep working.
#######################

and why does it take ages to list anything when
the url is accessible with good speed in a browser?

Have you submitted an activetcl bug report on this problem? Quite some
time ago, I was having regular problems with mismatched file transfers
from teapot. I am not able to use teapot as I did in the past and so I
don't know if a general problem is occurring or if there is some issue
with your data line. The message reads as if new files are available
in the repository, teacup downloaded the latest INDEX file, but the
file that ended up on your machine different from the size that teacup
was expecting, so teacup has to resort to query teapot for information
on each file, rather than depending on a local copy of the INDEX.

However, I don't know the code, so I'm not certain about that analysis.
