I notice, however, that there are over a dozen subdirectories and that you would have to do this for each subdirectory to get the full distribution. It would be convenient if there were a directory with all the chunks, that is, bin.??, src.?? etc. so that you could just do one big mget. Folks who only want the base distribution could do an mget bin.*. Ed Greg Lehey wrote: > > In fact, what you get are chunks of compressed tar files.
