Is there a problem with gnomecanvas2 package?

setup.exe hasn't changed since April so it's hard to see how any

you'd be having would be related to anything other than your local
network configuration.
I wasn't suggesting there was anything wrong with setup.
Perhaps a problem with one or more packages?
Maybe you weren't but since packages are just a stream of bytes if
setup.exe stops downloading them it isn't the package's fault. It's
setup.exe's. Since lots of people are downloading packages, and since
packages are just a stream of bytes that get copied to disk, the problem
still points to an issue on your side if a download stops halfway
through.

"Your side" might be something as simple as bad connectivity with the
mirror that you've chosen so trying another mirror would make sense.

Re: multiple mirrors attempts: been there, failed at that!

Well, if you want to provide information about a specific site and package that failed for you, I will try to install it from that site and another of my choosing, if you're looking for a sanity test. Like Chris, I'm skeptical that there's a general issue here but certainly if there's some specific site and package to try, that's easy enough for me (or anyone else for that matter ;-) ) to try.
