[Nix-dev] Accessing cache.nixos.org

[Mark Gardner]

I have been having a lot of failures installing and rebuilding lately. The
usual symptom is "", often 6 ("could not resolve host").

For example here are some of the errors I am seeing as I attempt an
installation (over and over again):
- download-from-binary-cache.pl: could not download from '
http://cache.nixos.org/nix-cache-info' (Curl error 6)
- curl: (6) Couldn't resolve host "cache.nixos.org'
- download of 'https://cache.nixos.org/nar/....nar.xz' failed: No such file
or directory
- could not download '/nix/store/...-sudoers' from any binary cache

Two days ago the problem could be traced to cloudfront.net (AWS US-East-1)
having problems, but I don't know why the problems yesterday and today.
Anyone know why? Anything I can do about it? Any work arounds? This is
stopping me dead in the water...
