Check you network connection, you could be behind a firewall that prevents direct access to the internet. You can specify a proxy server on the commandline with --proxy=... Best wishes, Taco
Taco, Thanks. But it works in my office, but not in my colleague's office. I have gwtex and he has mactex. Admitting my ignorance, what is a proxy server? D. On Apr 23, 2008, at 11:42 PM, Taco Hoekwater wrote:

Does this work? rsync -av \ rsync://contextgarden.net/minimals/current/context/current/ \ /usr/local/mactex/texmf.local (adapt the path according to your needs, I have no idea how the tree is organized) (but you still need to run texexec --make --all manually after fetching all the files) Mojca
