Fetch doesn't know whether the program it is fetching is completed coming from wherever it is coming from; it must make the assumption that it is. This is one of the reasons I wish the distinfo files had (optional) size information. However, I don't see that happening in the near future. -- AlanE (Alan Eldridge), who likes fixing weird distributed systems bugs. Unix/C(++) IT Pro for 20 yrs, desperately seeking employment in NYC.
