Error in finding host for ssc package download

[Samuel Van Bael]

Hi all,

I'm currently working on my thesis with the Abadie-Imbens estimator and have been using Stata 14.2 to do so. To use this estimator a package is available on ssc called nnmatch. For the last three days I was able to download the package without any issue with the

ssc install nnmatch

command, but for some reason I know get following error.











I don't know what is occurring, as I am executing the exact same .do file as yesterday, which worked. Does anyone have any ideas?

Kind regards,
Samuel

It seems like the host is down, as I've also experienced the same problem to find and install user packages from SSC.

Thanks! Do you know how long it takes before the host is back up?

No, I would have no way to know that since I'm not affiliated with Boston College, where the repository is housed. I suspect it is temporary and should return within the next day(s).

I'm having the same problem with a different package, so thank you for explaining why this is happening!
