Mmhhh, looks like the download-section needs some more work. There are
other issues also with the current scheme when you have 10 files from
10 different locations where GAR tries every file at every location
taking forever when you don't prime /home/src.

What is in the files? Would they unpack to different directories? Or do
you want modulation-specific sources?


Best regards
