Were they wearing cloaks?  Maybe they just *looked* like rob and presotto from
the nose up.

Yeah, that's what I see on linux, but not on plan9.  But at least wrong md5 I
get is always the same wrong md5.

Which is funny, since plan9.9gz came off the dos partition just fine.  Or
wait, maybe it came off ext2.  Maybe dossrv doesn't like large partitions?
It's one 13GB partition, with the file right near the end.

When ftp.mime.univ-paris8.fr comes back up again,I'll try ext2 server and see
if it works better (unless someone knows where to find it on a different
server).

Well, I never got whatever this was responding too, but I guess that just
illustrates the point.  I also get just about every msg twice.
