yaourt not able to download any AUR packages (firewall issue?)

Hi.

On my work Arch desktop I am unable to download any AUR packages with yaourt...

I can only assume it is some type of firewall issue as its the same setup as my home arch desktop (which yaourt works fine) - our boss likes to randomly block ports....

Can anyone confirm what ports are used to download from AUR? Or advise how to look further into this.

Yaourt can download 'normal' arch packages fine.

Here is an attempt at downloading an AUR package:-

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==> Downloading bluegriffon PKGBUILD from AUR...
==> ERROR: bluegriffon not found in AUR.
==> ERROR: unable to update
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Maybe it's http://mailman.archlinux.org/pipermail/ … 16709.html ?
AUR works for me atm.

Hi.

Thanks for the response

It was like this on Friday also so I doubt it is connected.

Does anyone know what port is used to connect to AUR?

regards

Still not able to connect to AUR from behind my office firewall...

Does anyone know what ports are needed to access AUR with yaourt ? Or if I can change the way it connects ?
