Agreed. That would be why I included the problem {pacific internet} from 
Sean's report.   Also the mentioned ~"302 and redirect" is another html 
response ie not 200. So could someone list the settings that would have 
caused the 200+text404 response, so that it could be used as an 
additional test case ?

Still, it would be great to solve the garbage in {=dodgy repodata} > 
getting stuck problem. Looking for well formed xml in the data appears 
to be a good place to start, should be seeing:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
