Building Mozilla : "Abort : Premature EOF reading chunk" error

I need to build the mozilla source in my Windows 7 machine. I used the following command line code to pull the source using mercurial

hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/ D:\FFsrc\src20

but the process always stop in the middle, with the following error.

requesting all changes adding

changesets transaction a开发者_开发问答bort! rollback

completed abort: premature EOF reading

chunk <got 6 bytes, expected 776>

Try successive clone -r, it looks like your connection is flaky which stops the clone process in the middle.

HI Tonfa, Krtek

the issue was actually on the network, which stopped the clone process. I have now downloaded the bundle and grabbed the source by unbundling it.

Thanks!!!

I had that error and found it was caused by using the old 1.2 hg client. Upgraded to 2.4.2 and it worked fine since then. So try to update to the latest hg version.
