title: Emacs24 won't download marmalade-repo.org archive
body: <p>Installed emacs-snapshot from <a href="http://emacs.naquadah.org/" rel="noreferrer">this</a> debian repo. Added in my init.el:</p>
  
  <pre><code>(add-to-list 'package-archives
               '("marmalade" . "http://marmalade-repo.org/packages/"))
  (package-initialize)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I M-x package-refresh-contents it hangs for about 2 minutes with the message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Contacting host: marmalade-repo.org:80
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Then times-out with the message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Failed to download `marmalade' archive.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>As I can see with tcpdump, package lists <em>are</em> actually fetched. Unsure why the error occurs. Tried installing the package.el provided at the Marmalade page, no luck.</p>
