Hi All,
Long time user, but not sure if I have posted before so here goes.
Are the repo's down ? On Saturday I was building lots of test hosts using the EZremaster utility, and mid-afternoon (UK GMT) my 10.1 client stopped being able to access the main repo's. At first I assumed it was my Check Point firewall at home doing something "interesting" with the traffic. I removed all security policy and allowed all traffic outbound uninspected - no change. I tested on a 2 x 4G connections outbound - no change. I got to the work office this morning and tried again but still no luck with 10.1. I installed a 7.x (can't remember) just to test an older version - no luck.
I have continuously checked all weekend and today for other users reporting issues but seen nothing - surely I can't be the only user who has noticed this can I ??
If there some kind of repo availability checking status page that I am missing ?
Thanks All

Hi spacewevil
To the best of my knowledge, the repo has not been down:
http://tinycorelinux.net/10.x/x86/tcz/
What does this command return:
cat /opt/tcemirror

Hi Rich,
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/metalab/distributions/tinycorelinux
When trying to use the App Browser I get the generic "Couldn't load mirror list. Maybe network issue?".
#tce-ab
wget: bad response to RETR:550 Failed to open file.
As I mention, I have tried 4 public IP connections outbound, 2 with Check Point firewalls with and without security policy (other than layer 3 + 4 outbound permission), and also 2 x unfiltered 4G connections. It all worked flawlessly on Saturday but stopped Saturday night.
I thought maybe I had had my IP blocked because I was doing lots of repo pulls as I was remastering lots of ISO's for a project I am building, but having tried the others I cannot say this is now true.
DNS is correct, set to 9.9.9.9 and 8.8.8.8.
Any other thoughts would be much appreciated. Im a bit stuck for my efforts to continue troubleshooting.
Thanks

Hi spacewevil
Your URL is hosed. Goto:
ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub
There is no metalab directory listed.

Hi spacewevil
Go here:
http://wiki.tinycorelinux.net/wiki:mirrors
and pick another mirror. Then update your tcemirror file. Example:
echo ftp://ftp.nluug.nl/pub/os/Linux/distr/tinycorelinux/ > /opt/tcemirror
Make sure you include the trailing slash in the URL.

Thank you kind sir.
That really was making me scratch my head.
Looking in more detail, I believe that this was being pulled from an old mounted disk I had. Although, the /dev/sda disk was not actually mounted within the OS so not entirely sure how that happened. After realising that this must have been my /dev/sda after using another fresh download of TinyCore Core-current.iso and still getting that same FTP URI, it must have been something my side.
Again, super thanks, My project continues ... of which I hope to share as a custom ISO in the coming weeks.

Hi spacewevil
... this must have been my /dev/sda after using another fresh download of TinyCore Core-current.iso and still getting that same FTP URI, it must have been something my side. ...
If the ISO found a tce directory on sda it will restore whatever is in tce/mydata.tgz. If you happened to have an /opt/ directory
backed up in there, it would have been restored and supplied the old tcemirrir file.
