  Hello,

Concerning the ATOMS problems with 6.0.2 on OSX Catalina (Windows  
users please stop reading further... ;-)), I have the following error  
on a freshly installed configuration (dedicated partition on my  
machine):

Scilab 6.0.2 (Aug 19 2019, 11:47:50)

   

  --> ATOMSLIST

  atomsDownload: The following file hasn't been downloaded:

  - URL      : 'http://atoms.scilab.org/6.0/TOOLBOXES/64/macosx.gz'

  - Local location :

  All ATOMS repositories scan failed.

In fact the temp folder 

/private/var/folders/pp/hrld62h917x_ccf55yzn78z00000gn/T/SCI_TMP_1093_DIw7vR/.atoms

is empty. This is not a network problem as the following command succeeds:
 

  --> GETURL HTTP://ATOMS.SCILAB.ORG/6.0/TOOLBOXES/64/MACOSX.GZ

  Samuel do you have an idea ?
