Fetching a hashed repository would be faster.  Perhaps you could persuade
the maintainer to run darcs optimize --upgrade with darcs 2.4.0 or higher?

Got the 'hash' message too, and also:

Finished getting.
 

Warning: CRC errors found. These are probably harmless but should be 
repaired.
See 'darcs gzcrcs --help' for more information.

Blew away repo, re-darcs-ed it.    Same error.


But "it compiled, so it must be fine"... right? ;)
