Hi all, I’m trying to get the Radiant source code for the first time but get the following error: farrel@nicodemus ~/Projects $ svn co [http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/radiant/](http://dev.radiantcms.org/svn/radiant/trunk/radiant/) svn: PROPFIND request failed on ‘/svn/radiant/trunk/radiant’ svn: PROPFIND of ‘/svn/radiant/trunk/radiant’: Could not read status line: connection was closed by server. ([http://dev.radiantcms.org](http://dev.radiantcms.org)) Is the subversion server down or am I doing something wrong? Thanks Farrel ---

A firewall on your network may be blocking access to the site for some reason. Can you use a Web browser to go to the URL?

I’ll investigate if it’s perhaps a problem on my side. My ADSL provider shapes traffic like crazy so it could be that although it shouldn’t kill connections. Farrel ---
