I've seen that occasionally, but usually if I try again after an hour, everything's fine. The only exception to that was Wednesday evening this week, where the 404's persisted. I took Mozilla and went to look at a directory listing of the site, and indeed, the files that the package listed claimed were available simply weren't there. Thursday evening, all went well. I'm surprised you're having this problem late Thursday night, assuming that you sent your mail after verifying that the problem was still present. As to what causes this, I have no idea, but I think it could be prevented if the mirroring system made sure that the actual package tree was updated before the package list. Craig
