You appear to obtain the Vim runtime files, not build Vim.

You should not add "fetch" in that command.

Does your system use a proxy perhaps?  Another possibility is that it
tries to setup an ipv6 connection, but that fails.  I get a warning
message for that (my system and the ftp server support ipv6, but some
server in between doesn't).  But it should automatically retry with an
old fashioned IP address then.

It works fine for me with Python 2.x, but when I try Python 1.5 it
appears to hang.  I don't know why, there is no error message...

You can try downloading that "main.aap" recipe into $VIMRUNTIME and then
run "aap" there.  But it's very likely that the first attempt to
download a file will fail again.
