mercurial (hg) transaction abort!

[Anton Shterenlikht]

I'm trying to get firefox sources via mercurial (hg), and I get:

# hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/integration/mozilla-inbound/ src
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: connection ended unexpectedly
# 

or

# hg clone http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
destination directory: mozilla-central
requesting all changes
adding changesets
adding manifests
adding file changes
transaction abort!
rollback completed
abort: connection ended unexpectedly
# 

# pkg info -xo mercu
mercurial-2.1.2: devel/mercurial

# hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.1.2)
(see http://mercurial.selenic.com for more information)

Does this look like there's something wrong with my mercurial installation?
Or does it look like there's a problem with mozilla.org?
Or does it look like there's a problem with my network connection?

Any hint would be helpful.

If you are wondering, here's why I need the sources:
