I also had some problems with the download, due to Tripod's bizarre
method of doing downloads, but I did manage to retrieve the file.
On clicking the .tar.gz file from the main page, you're taken to a page
that advertises Tripod. For some reason, my Netscape would not download
the file from this page, but instead would try to execute the file,
giving a 'zcat' error. However, right-clicking on the link, and
selecting 'Save file as' did the right thing, saving the file to disk.
However, even though the file ended with .tar.gz, it was NOT in gzip
format, but was stored uncompressed. I had to rename the file to have
just a .tar extension, then un-tar'd as usual.
The module installed perfectly on my setup, and in my tests, file
transfers did work, with masq'd ICQ clients configured to "I am not
behind a firewall" mode.
Kudos to this module's author(s), a job very well done!!
