The saving grace is that I have only seen the behaviour with this one |
| 50 |
package so its something easily dealt with - now I know. Plus flash is |
| 51 |
dieing so I might be able to do away with it before much longer - |
| 52 |
unfortunately the OSS packages just are not as good. I've used |
| 53 |
http-replicator for distfiles since it came out in ~2004 and its always |
| 54 |
just worked. Oh well ... |
