Emacs24 will not download the marmalade-repo.org archive

Question

Installed emacs-snapshot from this debian repo. Added in my init.el:

(add-to-list 'package-archives '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/")) (package-initialize) 

When I update the contents of the Mx package, it hangs for about 2 minutes with the message:

 Contacting host: marmalade-repo.org:80 

Then a break with the message:

 Failed to download `marmalade' archive. 

As I can see with tcpdump, package lists are actually retrieved. It is not clear why the error occurs. Tried installing the .el package provided on the Marmalade page, no luck.

Answer 1

The Marmalade archive is now backed up.
