 I can keep trying, but is this a known defect? 

No problems here at all. You could try other mirrors and check if you encounter 
the same problems.

There are currently no know errors with the files on the FTP servers.

As an occasional user of Gimp I don't have all the arcana of installation 
memorized. Where can I find gimp-help and where should I install it?

Hi John,

Have a look at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and see if that helps

Look for the bit that says GIMP help files are available at
ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/

[Gimp-user] help with GIMP help

2009-03-30 Thread Noel Stoutenburg
Friends,

The problem: the Window GIMP installer does not seem to install GIMP 
help, and the windows (XP, SP2) GIMP help installer that can be 
installed easily on a local machine is not the current version. [NB: 
I've downloaded and successfully unpacked the latest version of the 
documentation, but have not managed as yet to successfully install it].

The proposed solution: use mirroring software to download the GIMP help 
documentation from on-line to local machine.

So the help: has anyone tried what I propose, and therefore might be 
able to comment on the likelihood of success, or for hurdles to 
overcome, or is there an easier way?
