"Download failed. Not Found" when installing my plugin

[metaphorcreations]

I am receiving a "Download failed. Not Found" about 50% of the time when trying to install a fresh version of DItty News Ticker ​http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ditty-news-ticker/ through the Plugin installer.

I have had one user make not of this on the plugin's support forums, but I'm sure there are many more who are running into it and just moving on.

Tested on two installs (local and remote), could not reproduce. Sounds like a network issue or a temporary issue on WP.org rather than something that can be fixed in core.

Likewise. Closing as invalid, if you can reproduce it constantly, reopen this ticket.

I can duplicate with that plugin, takes a few requests to trigger it.

I recently had a "Download failed. Not Found" when just to download the plugin from wordpress.org. I am not sure what the issue is, but it does seem to happen about 25% of the time for me.

I don't know if it has anything to do with an subversion error on my part.. I'm very new to it. But, since it it downloads fine a lot of the time and the plugin works as it should when installed, I'm assuming I didn't mess anything up.

Whoops, probably should leave it as WordPress.org

I just attempted to install my plugin again and it failed 3 times in a row. I'm using Chrome Version 24.0.1312.57 on a Macbook Pro running OSX 10.8.2

I really need someone to look at this again. I have never had this issue installing other plugins so I do not believe this is a network issue. I'm sure I can't be the only one having this issue (frequently) when trying to install my plugin.

Thanks.

I changed my stable tag from /trunk/ to my latest versio (1.0.3) and it seems to be working better that way.

Okay, we've tracked this one down. One of the web nodes is having issues. It's been removed from production.

Great! Thank you!
