Hi Dale,
Can't you use this? http://static.smalltalkhub.com/dkh/metacello/mc/Metacello-Base-dkh.109.mcz
I can hack things to make my single test case work, but there is code and configuration files at GemStone/GLASS/GsDevKit sites around the world that I cannot edit ... If I was told "sorry we are not going to make sure that the smalltalkhub servers are going to work any more", then I wouldn't have a choice, but to drop everything and do the conversion RIGHT NOW. Eventually there is going to be a (hopefully) more stable static site and IF/WHEN that happens I won't have to change anything, but this interim flakiness of the smalltalkhub servers is getting to be annoying ...

Maybe the requests to the "dynamic" SmalltalkHub could be rewritten to point to the static version of it.
If the dynamic servers are going to be unreliable, then this is probably a better solution, I'm sure that the folks who are still actively using the dynamic site aren't pleased with the flakiness either:) Dale

SmalltalkHub mcz downloads are broken ... looks like a mongo server has gone down? .... I ran into this problem running production tests yesterday and today I find that while the smalltalkhub site is up, I cannot download an mcz file, using this url: http://smalltalkhub.com/mc/dkh/metacello/main/Metacello-Base-dkh.109.mcz.
If you are not going to keep the current smalltalkhub site functional, why don't you switch to the static site and give those of us who DEPEND upon static access to mcz files a reliable site to connect to ... I have plans to move completely away from mcz files, but I didn't plan on doing that this week ... and frankly I don't have the cycles to do that ... right now ...
Here's a screenshot of a manual login and navigation to the mcz file that is failing to download:
And when I press the `Download .mcz` button, I get the following "response" after a delay:
