DAng... It works again. It surely was broken yesterday: all downlaod
would fallback to using http://sources.buildroot.net

See also the mail from Peter stating it did not work for him, too:
    http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2014-November/111953.html

So, they "fixed" it over-night. Sigh, that's not reliable.

OK, so we can probably post-pone the resolution for post-release.

Yann E. MORIN.
