Hi,

while running the prepare script i encountered the following problem:

--11:59:32--  ftp://ftp.download.com/pub/win95/utilities/spybotsd13.exe
           => `packages/spybotsd13.exe.tmp'
Resolving ftp.download.com... 206.16.4.28, 206.16.4.29, 206.16.4.30, ...
Connecting to ftp.download.com[206.16.4.28]:21... connected.

==> PASV ... done.    ==> RETR spybotsd13.exe ...
No such file `spybotsd13.exe'.

But that's not the main reason why I am writing this email.
I was always kind of annoyed when the download of a service pack or something 
similar big failed and i had to start all over again because the prepare script 
isnt set to resume previous incomplete downloads. So I changed the prepare 
script a bit and added the "-c" switch as well as a "-t 3" switch because 20 
tries to reach a host is a little too much, isn't it? ;)

But then I remembered that resumed downloads might get corrupted and so I added 
a feature to check the md5 checksums of the downloaded files against md5 
checksums added to the .bat files from the /scripts folder. I remember reading 
such a request before but don't remember if anyone opposed this idea or not.

I know it is a lot of work to add all md5 checksums to the .bat files but I'll 
glad to help with the checksums for the "GER" and "ALL" files. :)

I'm hosting a patch file (prepare.patch), a complete version of the new prepare 
script (preparenew) and an example .bat file (7-zip.bat) [so that you can see 
how it will look like with the md5 checksums] at 
http://iserv.bs.ni.schule.de/~jens.geile/

That's it for now. Have a nice day,
