I think this kind of error should be documented somewhere.

This sort of thing could easily be caused by network problems, and is probably outside the control of kPlatforms.

The new -f switch allows us to pass Drush Make the --force-complete option, so that we're not back at square one when trying to build these platforms (Thanks for the hard work there, Jonathan!)

Another useful tool for making these downloads faster, easier and more reliable is to use a proxy cache such as Squid. This avoids having to download the same packages multiple times, as we have to do when building both Drupal and CiviCRM platforms, for example. also, in the case of a failure during a platform build, it will maintain cached copies of all the projects that downloaded successfully. I've written up some basic docs here: http://community.aegirproject.org/handbook/administrator/post-install-co...
