Putting "/" in the directory name could have done anything.  That
is not a valid character to use in a directory name, and in some
circumstances has the same meaning as "\".

complex is quite slow.  I don't think it has been properly written.
It's the most robust one though.

This is a worry.  I checked my logs and everything was fine except
that you didn't ACK the hello structure (or ask for it a few times).
The only thing I can think of is that it might be getting confused
by the binary data stream.  Try going into Telix and Alt-O and see
if "use xon/xoff" is set to yes.  Try setting it to "no" instead.

Rather than having to download the whole thing again, I am now
making "monthly" archives available.  The data will always be
out of date of course.  BFN.  Paul.
