[ocaml-infra] opam.ocaml.org timeouts

[Anil Madhavapeddy]

You've almost certainly got a transparent proxy or something else between you and the server (which is a fairly vanilla Nginx with no special throttling).

I can't really be more help without doing more active diagnosis I'm afraid, but you could use `opam-admin` to download a local copy of the archives and serve them via HTTP.

After that all installations fail. This is a seriously frustrating. I can connect via proxy sites but not via my public ip after attempting to download few core packages.
