I didn't get that error, but the file being truncated
is not a major surprise.

A link, you say ? O.K., here 'tis.

Downloads --> below the translator kit stuff. I was
unable to pick up either main version of the program,
or doc files etc., in numerous attempts dating back a
month. The d/l starts & stalls, starts & stalls, but
in the end you usually get nada, or quit after a very
long wait. (I've never felt a need for AWGET, ever
since I went to DSL several years ago.) If these
files are mirrored somewhere else, Ray must be way
better at searching them out than I am, or much
luckier. I'm 80 % sure that's where the zipfile in
question came from, though I don't see it there now.

I'm kinda curious as to what's going on over there.
At first I was wondering if they only have terrible
dialup service in CZ. But that doesn't make sense.
The free AVG antivirus s/w I use on the Dark Side
comes from CZ, and those connections are fine.
Fortunately, I seldom run into problematic d/l's like
this, and I pick up odd things from all over. Their
page seems to load O.K. in Moz 1.7.12.
