Michael,
I spent two hours trying to find out why my web spider could not
download your files correctly. I started fantasizing you would have some
highly effective web robot detection script on your web server which
would mangle the files. I kept getting errors of the type "file has zero
size".
It turned out it has to do with gzip encoding. As soon as I turned off
"use gzip encoding for transfer", I was able to download the files for
later reading.
I thought I would rather let you know - perhaps it's a problem with your
web server, 'cause I've never had to disable that option till now.
