syntaqxnpm installs on g1t's cloud runners stop failing with "network aborted". The upstream sometimes broke off in the middle of a tarball's body, after its headers had already been handed to the sandbox, so the retry added for failed requests couldn't help: npm got a truncated file and gave up. Now an answer to a request that can be sent again (a GET or HEAD with no body), of known length up to 8 MB and sent uncompressed, as package tarballs are, is read whole by the runner Worker before the sandbox gets it; one whose body breaks off is tried again, twice, and still failing becomes a 502 saying why, never a truncated answer. Larger answers and ones of unknown length stream as before. And the repository's installs open at most 8 connections at once rather than npm's 15, since each passes through the Worker and bursts of parallel downloads were when it happened.4ffd59cHistory
