But how to reach this directory (and URxvt tarballs within it)? — What is the actual URL for it? — I’ve tried some combinations but with no luck: in general I get very long timeouts in a web browser trying to reach that website [1] and even cURL responses from it like the following, timed out too: $ curl -I http://dist.schmorp.de curl: (28) Failed to connect to dist.schmorp.de port 80 after 128869 ms: Connection timed out $ $ curl -I http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.26.tar.bz2 curl: (28) Failed to connect to dist.schmorp.de port 80 after 130024 ms: Connection timed out $ $ curl -I http://schmorp.de HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently Date: Tue, 24 Aug 2021 19:54:41 GMT Server: Apache/2.4.48 (Debian) mod_perl/2.0.11 Perl/v5.32.1 Location: http://www.schmorp.de/ Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 $ $ curl -I http://software.schmorp.de curl: (28) Failed to connect to software.schmorp.de port 80 after 129540 ms: Connection timed out The affected AUR package’s page has already had a comment from the user called "natezb" that the version shoud be changed to 9.26 [2]; I’ve tried to change it in the PKGBUILD (and even manually type it in the tarball’s filename (when intended to download it directly), but with no luck — response timeouts still in effect on my side. What’s regarding your proposal instead of URxvt (Better Wheel Scrolling) — Alacritty [3] — I’d indeed, definitely have to try it out. Thank you for a suggestion.
