Hi.Total noob here, I’m installing public pool and i get this error “Install of public-pool@0.2.5 Failed: Filesystem I/O Error: request or response body error: error reading a body from connection: end of file before message length reached”. Tried twice, still got the same error. I already installed Bitcoin Core.

It looks like the download didn’t complete. Hard for me to say how/why since I don’t have access to your router/network/internet. Some kind of firewall/connectivity problem?

It’s working now. I restarted the start9 and it installed smoothly.
