I experience this caching problem all the time...
I've found that I can trick the caching proxy by appending some args to the
url pointing to jde-latest.zip. For example,
http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde/jde-latest.zip becomes
http://sunsite.auc.dk/jde/jde-latest.zip?blahblah.
HTH.

Fenistsoa,
If no one else is seeing the problem (and one person reported that all
was
ok for them), usually the problem is that a proxy between you and the
JDE
site has cached a corrupt version of the file, and that's what you keep
downloading. This has happened to me previously. I'm unsure of how you
can
force your browser to download a fresh version of a single file (the
usual
ctrl- or shift-reload tricks don't work). Maybe someone else knows the
answer (I'd be quite interested if someone does have an answer).
My "solution" at the time was to wait a few days for the cache to clear
and
then download the file again.
Actually, something you could try is the ftp server
(ftp://ftp.sunsite.auc.dk/projects/jde), which might get you around the
cache problems.
Tim.
