Works fine here but it uses gunzip instead of gzip. I don't think that this is a bug in jhbuild itself but more like a support issue (network connection etc).
So, how do I fix the problem? What do you mean it's a support issue?
Support == not a bug in the jhbuild code, hence nothing to report to a bugtracker. :) Probably try a fresh checkout, or ask on the gnome-love@ mailing list, or on irc.gimp.net in #gnome-love.
I already did a fresh checkout, and still get the same problem.
@Andre I really don't understand why you closed this bug; I'm curious what you think the problem was. Anyways, this commit http://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/commit/?id=1302a8881022bbc558ca3139ba29c8362bfe8b24 removed "checkoutdir" in the moduleset file. I will attach the patch to revert that specific part.
