Yeah, that's a problem with downloads from their website. It appears random. For example I couldn't download the NVIDIA CUDA toolkit on one day, but could the next. Then there was one instance where I couldn't use wget to get the Cg toolkit, but downloading it through Firefox worked. It's a strange problem. -- Regards, Andres -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
