Well, yes - it's telling an approximation of the truth, sure. But I would have thought it should be reporting that it can't locate the starting URL, rather than a specific file. The reason it confuses is that when you look manually, using a browser or something, you can see that the file is there, check permissions okay, etc. luke -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
