Hi David,
Please check the validity of the index file by comparing it to more than one CPAN mirror.
Have you tried this? E.g. configured CPAN to use another mirror and tried again?
yes, it's the same for every CPAN mirror I've tried. I've deleted CPAN's config.pm and my .cpan directory several times now, it's the same after every reconfiguration.
Testing 02packages.details.txt.gz with gzip -t reports: gzip: 02packages.details.txt.gz: invalid compressed data--format violated
Same with 03modlist.data.gz.
I'm using cygwin on W2k with default text file type "DOS", in case that's relevant.
