I have downloaded and installed Slik SVN client from http://www.sliksvn.com/en/download. Now I'm trying to download (checkout) WordPress sources and get error 

>svn co http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk/
svn: E175002: Unable to connect to a repository at URL'http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk'
svn: E175002: OPTIONS of 'http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk': could not connect to server (http://core.svn.wordpress.org)

Running on Windows XP SP3, I'm not behind any VPN or proxy. The http://core.svn.wordpress.org/trunk url successfully opens in any browser.

  • Have you tried using any _other_ svn clients? TortoiseSVN is rather popular. – cdeszaq Mar 19 '12 at 21:22
  • TortoiseSVN makes my explorer.exe to think much longer. I don't like it. I found and use DownloadSVN as temporary solution - http://downloadsvn.codeplex.com/ – d9k Mar 19 '12 at 21:34
  • Most of what causes Explorer to slow down with TortoiseSVN is the auto-updating of icon indicators, which essentially is just a scanning process in the background. If you turn that process off (in the TortoiseSVN properties) it speeds up to "normal" speeds. My point though is to see if you can get the svn repo to check out using a different client to isolate where the issue is. – cdeszaq Mar 19 '12 at 21:37

Check proxy setting in ...\Application Data\Subversion\servers for source host

  • I haven't found Subversion folder in C:\Documents and Settings\ – d9k Mar 20 '12 at 11:01
  • @d9k `c:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Subversion\servers` or use search on drive – Lazy Badger Mar 20 '12 at 11:09
  • My bad. I forgot to mark checkbox "search in hidded folders". So I found "servers" file in C:\Documents and Settings\d9k\Application Data\Subversion : http://pastie.org/3635328 – d9k Mar 20 '12 at 15:09
  • @d9k - think, read docs, define special section for core.svn.wordpress.org, svn co with debug... **SEARCH ANSWER, YOU DONE NOTHING BY HAND!!!** – Lazy Badger Mar 21 '12 at 01:18
  • @d9k - nothing **must** be easy, *remote* troubleshooting - **never can** – Lazy Badger Mar 24 '12 at 04:14
  • @d9k - do you still have checkout error? Can you browse repo in ordinary web-browser? – Lazy Badger Mar 24 '12 at 04:14
  • > Can you browse repo in ordinary web-browser? - Of course, I can. Also DownloadSVN application works perfectly. – d9k Mar 31 '12 at 10:43
