Bug - Not A Bug SVN connection refused by server

For the last 2 days or so, whenever I try to update a script or install a new one I get the following error:

therazekolmafia-canadv not checked - exception: org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: E175002: connection refused by the server
svn: E175002: OPTIONS request failed on '/p/therazekolmafia/canadv/code'

When using 'svn update', this error gets thrown for every script I have in the same basic form. I looked around and saw that this could be caused by sourceforge being down but https://sourceforge.net/ is working perfectly fine for me.

It doesn't actually output a debug log so I don't have anything like that attached.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Lots of chat on community support on this, including Veracity, who logged a ticket with Source Forge, and noted that there were 95 other ones logged, all unread. No twitter response from Source Forge Ops today for me.

Source Forge is refusing SVN connections, so nothing we can do about it.

The snark in me wonders if you read any of the other posts/threads about the same error.

However, the snark is not strong in this one. So what you are seeing is the result of SourceForge - where many scripts are hosted - refusing to connect. That leads to failure messages from KoLmafia and any scripts that chose to handle updates themselves. There is nothing that can be done until SourceForge gets its act back together. If a script is failing because it can't check for updates then it can be locally edited so that it does not make the check. One of the other threads has specific line numbers for at least zlib and Universal Recovery.

https://sourceforge.net/ is not relevant to this problem. https://svn.code.sf.net/ is and at the time of this post it was not accepting connections.
