Hey Anthony,

In looking for a way to make a feature request, I saw that your 
name<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/833/>is at the beginning of 
the list for Authors on the main GreaseMonkey 
downloading page<https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/>. 
 
Is this the appropriate forum to make that request?

I can probably make a reproduction case that's public for you to use?  
Also, the specific error I was seeing is:

Download Error 
>
> Error downloading URL: <URL-TO-MY-SCRIPT-REMOVED>
>
> Server returned 404 Not Found.
>

The super quick-and-dirty fix would be to say something like:

A "404 Not Found" was returned when downloading <SCRIPT-URL> or one of it's 
> required scripts.
>

Even better would be to tell which require line is the problem.  Please let 
me know if there's anything else I can do.

Best,
Ryan
