Hi,

        There seems to be some problem with the connection to
langmuir.eecs.berkeley.edu

        I tried twice to download the latest snapshot.  The first time, I
gave up after 11 attempts, where the connection closed in the middle.
The second time, I succeeded in downloading maps.tar.gz after 28 tries (!)
and crossfire.tar.gz after 13 tries.  (I used wget, which keeps trying
until it succeeds).

        I would like to download this at home, where I have a very slow,
unreliable but costly dial-up connection (I'm in India), and it will be
very painful if this happens.

Regards,
Mani.
