I think this is a general problem with URL.openConnection() where you don't explicitly grab the input stream and close it. I think my change should be safe since ultimately I'm reading lastModified from File and ZipEntry, not URLConnection. BTW: I think URLConnection actually does reclaim the FD if/when the connection is finalized on most platforms.
