I can almost always get on, using a small trick. Since I use gopher to
access the archive for downloads, I only ever do it to upload stuff.


Chris, your HTTP server is running, but it is supplying the files with a
'text/plain' content type. This is a bloody nuisance ;). Try taking the
gz extension off the files, and just calling them .tar  (most httpd
servers don't understand the .gz or .tgz suffix out of the box, and must
have their configs edited for it). Bizarrely enough though, the files
_seem_ to arrive intact, despite all this. Well, the docs did, anyway.
Just waiting on the binaries now. All will go to a.a.u.e. as soon as I've
got it and verified that it unpacks okay.
