cabal update aborts everything when _one_ of the configured remotes is offline.

[lspitzner]

• have more than one remote configured
• cabal update
• one of the configured remotes answers with 503/504 whatever HTTP status codes
• expected behaviour: the other remotes are still updated properly.
• observed: the process aborts right after printing the error message.

(cabal version is some few-weeks old HEAD (some 1.25.0.0), if it matters)

If it helps, I'm getting a HTTP code 502 error when performing cabal update.

Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
cabal.exe: Failed to download

HTTP code: 502"

@BrianErikson Yes, this ongoing incident is the reason that i discovered this problem. However the described issue exists independent of the incident. I'd really expect cabal update to keep working when some of my configured remotes go offline.

(and the admins are aware and investigating, see status page)
