Darcs fetches too little files


I am trying to fetch wxHaskell with the command
   darcs get --lazy http://code.haskell.org/wxhaskell/
but there are much too little files downloaded; what could be the problem?

I'm working on Windows XP, both in an MS-DOS shell and an MSYS shell.
Installed Darcs version: 2.8.1

Regards,
Henk-Jan van Tuyl

Could you be more specific? The point of --lazy *is* to fetch very few
files, so as described, it's working as it should...

I get the same files, with or without --lazy, they are:

wxhaskell_3>dir /s/b
wxhaskell_3\darcs916
wxhaskell_3\darcs916-new_be8f187acbc53e7192167af035fde402
wxhaskell_3\_darcs
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\format
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\hashed_inventory
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\patches
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\pristine.hashed
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\binaries
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\boring
wxhaskell_3\_darcs\prefs\defaultrepo

different results.

I repeated the command today and it worked!

So, did you expect the result to be different, or did you re-try just to
confirm that it doesn't work?

The day after I tried the command the first time, I thought the result  
might be different; I have the experience that my browser crashes, and  
starting it again results in an immediate crash. Logging off and on again  
solves the problem. This might be because of a corrupted DLL or a  
corrupted data area of a DLL.

The command failure could have also been caused by a problem at the server  
side.

In conclusion: repeating the same thing could give different results.

Certainly!

My favourite example is : sex.
