st: Re: not able to view ssc
The EconPapers server in Sweden is experiencing some hardware
problems this week. The command ssc whatsnew relies on files stored
on that server. The same information can be had via the webpage
http://repec.org/docs/ssc.php
However, the links on that page also refer to EconPapers. If you see
a module and want to know more about it, use the -ssc describe
packagename- command in Stata.
We hope that the EconPapers site will soon be operational, but the
European penchant for extended vacations has made a number of I/T
staff unavailable.

Subject: not able to view ssc
Kit,
Sorry to trouble you directly on this, but for the last week I've
been unable to access the SSC site through Stata 9.2 (updated 06
feb 2007) using -ssc whatsnew-. I've seen no other complaints on
Statalist so I assume it's not a general problem.
After trying to access the site through Stata, I receive the usual
time-out message after several minutes waiting time:
<br />
<b>Warning</b>: file(http://[email protected]/mirror/boc/
bocode/bocode
x.rdf): failed to open stream: Operation timed out in <b>/Volumes/
loki1/fmww
w/RePEc/docs/smcl.php</b> on line <b>32</b><br />
I've tried many times through three different ISPs
(cablered.net.mx; prodigy.net.mx; ixchel.mda.cinvestav.mx) all
here in Mexico with the same lack of connection. Is it possible
your site is blocking connections from Mexico?
I'm running Stata on a Vista machine (I know, I know...dumb move)
and have specifically added full internet access to "wsestata.exe"
in my McAfee firewall.
Any ideas?
Best,
Steve Rothenberg
