Listmates, I have had my updates hand horribly over the past several days. So bad, I thought there was a bug in pacman. I have even canceled some with ctrl+c out of frustration. I think I just found out why. I was looking to download the i686 lts kernel so I was browsing the various repositories to see which one had it. I tried to access packages on archlinux.unixheads.org, and access to the repository did the same thing -- just hung. The little spinner in firefox was just going round-and-round. Looking at the site it was accessing, I under stood why: http://www.google-analytics.com/ Evidently some of the archlinux repos are using google-analytics to trac web traffic to the packages and this is killing access to the repository. Here is a screenshot: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/Archlinux/bugs/hung-repo-ann.jpeg I'm glad to finally know what the problem is, but it may not be helpful to Arch to have the repos killed by some configured (or misconfigured) web traffic analyzer package... -- David C.
