I've heard this from several people but the files there all check out just fine. I've md5 checksumed and verified the whole collection, I've installed from it personally and I've run a tar verify on the files even just now - it all checks out! I sincerely don't know what the problem is - only *some* people seem to have it, in fact. I suspect what's REALLY happening here is, in fact, that the ftp session is being whomped due to excessive load on wcarchive or some network outtage. Jordan
