Did you try again? That sort of failure is almost always due to transient connectivity problems.

You can also set the appropriate build option to not do the download, and get the files yourself later.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I changed my network connection (from my home to office) and somehow it works.

You can also set the appropriate build option to not do the download, and get the files yourself later.

I’m afraid this isn’t an option as Geant4 is built as a dependency of our program. And we would like this build process (including building all required dependencies) to be as simple as possible. Therefore we can’t tell our user to download some data package manually.

I will close this issue when the whole process finishes.

Thanks again.
