Looks like the people that maintain the GHC toolchain need to do some work on the web presence. I decided to try to update GHC to the latest version since the tools say there’s a new version. So 5 days ago, I tried to update thru ghcup. Well, that was my intent. The ghcup process fails over and over again with network errors. The update plods along downloading at 3-4 K per second, yielding a download that’ll take hours, but then the download falls to 0K per second and eventually failing. I might write it off to bad luck, but I generally am able to download 10 to 40 or 50 meg of a 275 megabyte file and since I’m on a metered internet connection, I can only do this so long. And every time you invoke ghcup, it starts from the begining. Really annoying. They need to add restart capability if the network fails so often.
