When I try to install a bedrock project, `composer create-project roots/bedrock` I am getting errors:

```

```

Anybody got any ideas how to fix this?

Should also mention that this is just trying to install it locally on Linux (mint)

Possible ISP/internet issue? Maybe you hit [wp.org](http://wp.org)’s download server at a bad time? Have you tried again?

Very possibly since what fails to download doesn’t seem consistent from yesterday to today, `roots/wordpress-no-content` still seems to fail initially but the installer seems to be able to work past it now
