[quote=“aple”]As much as I like Package Control it throws a series of errors from time to time on ST2 startup.
The error it throws is:
Package Control: Error downloading repository. HTTP error 503
downloading
INSERT URL OF WHATEVER PACKAGE IT'S FAILING TO LOAD
Any suggestions as to what’s going on and how to fix it from freaking out?[/quote]
A 503 error means that the service is temporarily unavailable. The way to work around it is to tell me you are having the problem, at which point I’ll look into enhancing the retry functionality to handle 503s in addition to timeouts. Is it GitHub that is triggering the 503s? What platform are you running on?
I’ll try to do this later today. Hopefully in the near future I’ll also be rolling out a centralized cache of package info that will help prevent issues like this, but also drastically improve the performance of Package Control.
