Fossil SCM

I was doing some preliminary playing around with fossil to determine if it would be suitable for some projects I work on. I am using a command prompt in Windows XP. The first thing I tried was the clone suggested in the manual to get at the source for fossil. But when I tried it, it repeatedly threw "clone aborted".

Just to be sure, I tried all of the various servers, tried using -A anonymous, tried [email protected]..., tried adding a :8080 at the end, and none of these attempts allowed me to connect to the fossil servers.

Here's an example of what I see in my command prompt:

>fossil clone http://www.fossil-scm.org/ myclone.fossil
                Bytes      Cards  Artifacts     Deltas
Sent:              53          1          0          0
H:\fossil\fossil.exe: cannot connect to host www.fossil-scm.org:80
Total network traffic: 0 bytes sent, 0 bytes received
H:\fossil\fossil.exe: server returned an error - clone aborted
