I have no idea what "axel" is. Is the file's size the same it should have been? If the file you got is much smaller than the file you expected, then it's likely you simply got a partial file, and you only need to continue downloading from the middle (this is possible in good FTP and HTTP clients - I don't know about this axel). If the size is almost the same, but only slightly smaller than it should have been, maybe you accidentally did FTP in ASCII mode? Make sure next time you FTP you use BINARY mode. Anyway, in this case, or when the file has the correct size and still corrupt, then unless iglu.actcom.co.il supports anonymous rsync, you'll need to download everything again. All this, of course, is assuming that the published MD5 value is indeed correct. If it isn't, reloading the file won't fix the MD5 :) -- Nadav Har'El | Tuesday, Mar 26 2002, 13 Nisan 5762 [EMAIL PROTECTED] |----------------------------------------- Phone: +972-53-245868, ICQ 13349191 |Jury: Twelve people who determine which http://nadav.harel.org.il |client has the better lawyer. ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
