openc2e source code download failure

The 'openc2e' project seems permanently stuck in 'Failed' for the repository download; I've tried syncing the entire repository from the given URL using several internet connections and subversion client versions, and it seems to work fine from everywhere, so I can't see that there's anything wrong on our end. Can someone give it a prod or tell me what's wrong?

Hi fuzzie,

I spent a while watching this job, and I must admit I can't find a good reason why it keeps failing. We are slowly making progress, but we only manage to get about a dozen revisions before the download jams. When it works, the server seems very responsive. Perhaps we are having an intermittent connection problem? Perhaps we are being denied a connection after a certain amount of traffic? It's not clear. I'll keep an eye on it today.

Persistence paid off. The job finally went through, and the report is ready now.

For reference, somone noticed there were some errors in the log about svnserve respawning too fast from inetd and so svnserve being temporarily disabled; I upped the limit in inetd (the default was 40 spawns every 60 seconds) and ohloh seems to have grabbed the rest in one go.

Perhaps this was the cause of the problems, if you're opening a new connection for each revision - just noting it because I notice there are some other forum posts discussing similar issues and perhaps ohloh might try slowing down a little or people could perhaps try making the same change server-side if running from inetd. :)
