Automatic donwload fai

[UrKr]

I got this error when running Pkg.build("GLFW")

automatic download failed (error: 2148270085): https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/download/3.1.1/glfw-3.1.1.bin.WIN32.zip
while loading C:\Users\user.julia\v0.3\GLFW\deps\build.jl, in expression starting on line 68

I managed to bypass it by downloading "glfw-3.1.1.bin.WIN32.zip", and manually and putting it into .julia\v0.3\GLWF\deps\downloads.
I also had to remove:
download("https://github.com/glfw/glfw/releases/download/$version/$build.zip", archive)
from line 68 from the build.jl file.

It might have been just a problem on my end, but I thought I would post it here in case it needs fixing.

Does download() work for you in general?

[UrKr]

Yeah, now that I checked it doesn't seem to be working for me in general. I got the exact same error when I tried this:
download("https://github.com/JuliaLang/JuliaBox/README.md") (the first file I could find)

Though I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly, as I haven't actually done this before.

For me, this URL is invalid...

[UrKr]

Yeah, I was guessing at how to use the download() command, so I just appended the README.md to the end of the URL.

I tried download("https://github.com/kivy/kivy/archive/1.8.0.zip") this time. I'm pretty sure that one's valid, and I still got the same error. So it appears to be on my side. Sorry for wasting your time!

I'd suggest updating your Julia to v0.3.8 if you haven't already. If you still have download problems with the latest version, I suggest you file a ticket on the distribution's repo.
