I am able to do bzr branch and bzr get successfully with other trunks.
Could the size play a role? widelands-media tilts the scales at over
1.5Gb. Plus it is only on Windows boxes (XP and Vista Pro) that I
encountered the error. I can bring it down on my Ubuntu boxes without the
error, so I have a work-around for now.

It's darn frustrating because it seems to transfer just about all of the
data, then craps out in the final stages. I thought about setting up a
different SSH key with Launchpad, but haven't gotten around to trying it.

Thanks for your response.
