And you are absolutely sure about that?

Can you show us a command line against a public URL that repeats this
problem?

[Well, I'd like to... but I can't without giving you our password to the
site. This site is an ASP's SSL site, and authentication is required.
The files downloaded have client's personal information in them, and
well, you know they wouldn't appreciate it. ;)

In any event, it's never happened to the daily files, only the monthend
ones, and month end was yesterday. Today there would be only daily
files. If the problem is related to the long filename it would need at
least one existing monthend file.]

Anyway, it would help if you'd use --trace-ascii in your problematic
case as then we could analyze that log more when this error 28 occurs.
And if you'd upgrade to 7.14.0 and --trace-time it would be even better.

[Since, it won't happen now until next month -- at least I haven't seen
it on the daily files -- this will have to wait until then. I can try
it. Using 7.14.0 is probably a good idea, regardless, too.]

I think you were clear, but it still sounds odd.
[OK, then.... Since we get all the files that are there; I'll change the
error message to be a warning message; if I can't find any reason for
this behaviour.

Thanks for the ideas - Wayne ]
