[[!comment format=mdwn username="http://joeyh.name/" nickname="joey" subject="comment 3" date="2013-03-17T21:07:50Z" content=""" Seems that I misdiagnosed this. The error message from the bad TLS library was about a had certificate, not \"user error\" (which, confusingly, does not mean what user error normally means!). Also, I see you reported this at , so you're using that build and not the \"git-annex-bin\" build at . The Arch Linux build that's done from source couldn't be affected by the Debian-spefific TLS bug anyway. I am reopening this bug report. Now, FailedConnectionException could be any of several things, but I noticed that someone else (perhaps cooindidentially using Arch Linux) reported the same error message here: [[Proxy_support]]. I wonder if you perhaps also have a http proxy that could be causing trouble. """]]
