You may be trying to download too much. Occasionally MUpd finds that fubar-1.2-3 is available, but by the time it gets around to doing that, after downloading everything else, dubar -1.2-4 has taken its place already. This can then upset the whole lot of downloads and installs. It shouldn't, but sometimes it does. Before you click Cancel on MUpd, have a look in /var/cache/grpmi and see if (some of ) your packages are actually there, and install them by hand. I do this every time MUpd gets a bellyache and it has saved me a lot of re-downloads. Otherwise, just keep trying different mirrors. For cooker purposes, ftp.ciril.fr is pretty good at the moment, but last year I had more joy with ftp.sunet.se -- Michel Clasquin, D Litt et Phil (Unisa) [EMAIL PROTECTED]/unisa.ac.za http://www.geocities.com/clasqm This message was posted from a Microsoft-free PC ...
