Currently when I use my 'brew' to upgrade, I got some errors that I can't download the packages from github.
The error messages are something like this:
==> Upgrading 1 outdated package, with result:
macvim 7.4-70
==> Upgrading macvim
==> Downloading https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/archive/snapshot-70.tar.gz

curl: (56) SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 54
Error: Download failed: https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/archive/snapshot-70.tar.gz
I don't know why but it seems that 'curl' just can't download the packages from github.
So I want to install the package manually:
1) Download 'https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/archive/snapshot-70.tar.gz' manually. So now I have '~/Download/macvim-snapshot-70.tar.gz'.
2) Verify it is the right one (this step is optional, but highly recommended):
- Open '/usr/local/Library/Formula/macvim.rb' and we can see that the files's sha1 checksum should be '66432ae0fe81b2787b23343b6c99ef81f6b52c3e'
- Use 'shasum' (a command line tool comes with the system) to check the downloaded file, it should output the same checksum.
3) Now open 'usr/local/Library/Homebrew/download_strategy.rb', add a line:
(it should start at line 62)
# Private method, can be overridden if needed.
def _fetch
ohai "download to #{@temporary_path}"
curl @url, '-C', downloaded_size, '-o', @temporary_path
end
4) Run 'brew upgrade' again. It will fail, but it will also print more information we need:

Error: Download failed: https://github.com/b4winckler/macvim/archive/snapshot-70.tar.gz
Note the red line, now we know the file name should be 'macvim-7.4-70.tar.gz.incomplete'. So we just copy the file here.
5) cp ~/Download/macvim-snapshot-70.tar.gz /Library/Caches/Homebrew/macvim-7.4-70.tar.gz.incomplete
6) edit 'usr/local/Library/Homebrew/download_strategy.rb' again, comment the line after when added:
# Private method, can be overridden if needed.
def _fetch
ohai "download to #{@temporary_path}"
# curl @url, '-C', downloaded_size, '-o', @temporary_path
end
7) Run 'brew upgrade' again. Succeed!
