I think there's a race condition somewhere.  That code should be thrown away

have seen it I was able to get the file by retrying.  Admittedly, small 
consolation if you are downloading a 100Mb file.... 

I am putting all of my effort into getting freenet.client.cli.Main and 
AutoRequester based FEC SplitFile insertion and retrieval working at the 
moment.  Writing new cleaner SplitFile request and insert Servlets on top of 
AutoRequester should be pretty easy.  Getting per segment streaming (the 
current implementation sends the data for a segment as soon as it is decoded) 
might be a little tricky, but could probably be punted for the first pass 
implementation.

I am pretty much on schedule.  I have freenet.client.cli.Main client FEC 
Splitfile requesting working in my local tree.  I will try to get 1 - 3 
checked in as soon as I can (end of this weekend at the very earliest).
That way, then other people can work on 4,5 if they want to.

I don't have much time to code during the week unfortunately.

P.S. Ian (or any other Tomcat/Servlet coders):
If you are looking for a constructive way to contribute in the meantime, 
investigate fixing our javax.servlet.* implementation so that it doesn't use 
cookies to store context information.    Fixing this will get rid of the need 
for the home-brewed url rewriting context management I was forced to use to 
avoid cookies.

Also, someone should put FEC SplitFile support into the C cli clients.
