strange. i have no problems reaching the git server, so it might be something on your side.

Alternatively, you can get the zip'ed up server files from here : http://ugz.ath.cx:1415/knots_nix.zip

@ addison: if you've got a DVB card (or stick) attached to your computer, you can use knots to stream live-tv from VDR (i think knots also supports streaming from mythtv, which is more popular in english speaking countries)
