I've personally downloaded both the 0622 and 0726 snaps, and all the files were fine. Both of the files you mention had file sizes of 240640, so I think you had better retry your ftp'ing. A common mistake made is to forget to specify the binary (or image) mode in ftp. Just enter a 'bi' command BEFORE you begin downloading. ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0.5-snap-0726) and (301) 220-2114 | n3lxx (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap-0622) -- Great! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
