The original Apache download site at http://httpd.apache.org/download.cgi doesn't list the Wayne University site that you list (at least on my computer - maybe it figures out where you are, etc), so I wouldn't consider that a mirror site. It's a site for the students at Wayne to download all the files, and recompile them. No doubt their tutor(s) would help them. And it would ensure that all students have exactly the same build, which would save a lot of time in class. A snapshot, not a mirror. For an example of a mirror site, see http://www.php.net My local mirror (here in Spain) is http://es.php.net/ Both sites are identical, but on totally different IP addresses. It's not the concept of mirror sites that is giving the problems, it's the fact that you went to a different kind of site. -- Pete Clark Sunny Andalucia http://hotcosta.com/Andalucia.Spain
