Ok, so we are already downloading from a private server (lab.llvm.org),
which IMHO we should be doing because we want tight control over the
dependencies etc.

I forgot that your machine is outside the lab, so that may be involved
here. I don't fully understand the networking setup but it is very
different outside vs inside. That said, I ran some timings from our network
here to lab.llvm.org, and I couldn't reproduce any connectivity issues from
here.

Renato, can you try running some testing on your side to quantify where the
connectivity issue is? Things like:
$ ab -c 3 -n 100 http://lab.llvm.org/packages/SQLAlchemy-0.6.6.tar.gz
work fine from here.

That said, it *would* be nice to harden this code against that failure mode
-- one reasonable way would be to have the buildbot slave mirror the
packages directory locally (using rsync or so) and do the install from
there. We can make the rsync command not cause a buildbot failure, since we
rarely change the packages. Any interest in making these changes to the
buildbot config?
