Looks like a problem with your network.

Have you tried it on a different network?

[sathyanarayana-a]

Strange thing is that the port fetches properly after switching the network. But interestingly almost all ports were fetching properly with the original network. I wonder what is wrong with our network and this particular port file that it is unable to fetch.

Anyway, problem solved in terms of able to install. Will check up with our network people at work why this is happening?

Thanks.

Good to hear that you found a workaround.
