mirrors and download failure
curaga:
You're the first to report this. Combined with all the mirrors failing (they are geographically diverse, and use different software), this would point to something in your connection/ISP.
We do know the great firewalls of China and UAE interfere. You're not in such a country by any chance?
edit: Especially the "connection refused" in your pic looks pretty bad. I use nluug (vim) all the time, and have never gotten such a response.
If issues with your ISP can be ruled out, it is possible your IP block / ISP have been sending spam for example, and ended up on some global blocklist. Though unlikely that all of our mirrors would use the same sources for those lists.

no, i'm not in china. (what's the UAE thing?) i'm european. greece to be exact. as far as i know my provider uses only a very basic firewall, blocking unsolited incoming connections, to ports 20-21, and 445. (i have firewall installed only to my ubuntu desktop. the 3 tinys i have, don't have firewalls)..
my provider is OTE.SA greece (the biggest provider in greece). i don't think that they have sent spam crap anywhere (and blocked), but how can i check this, just to be sure? it's unlikely though, because i can connect from time to time. if i (or the provider) was blocked, i wouldn't be able to connect at all...
as far as i have tested, for me, the ftp.vim.org works better than all the others (still having serious disconnection problems though).

Running "ping" and "traceroute" on hosts in questions might potentially lead to some more conclusion.
