Thank you for sharing. Couple of more things. It is a weekly which means it *should* be there for at least 6 days. This started happening to me on the third day, if I take today as the day I start downloading a fresh image. That was a fresh image as by mistake I had removed the earlier image otherwise it is usually very small, couple of hundred files difference which gets over in few hours. As far as your point of using the snapshot archive at the very last, when does that happen or how many hops or services it has to try before hopping onto snapshot service. I have to say what has happened is rare because I had been using it for the last 6 months or slightly more with good results but still would like to know. As an aside. if there is some good tool by which one can read the contents of the jigdo file woule be interested to know that as well specifically for locations. > -- > Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
