Re: [webmin-l] upgrade

[Joe C. <jo...@sw...>]

Just a minor correction: Mepis is a Debian-based distro.  RPMs probably 
aren't the way to go.  ;-)

But it does sound like there's probably something preventing the 
download from working, and testing an http request with wget is the 
first step to debugging the problem.  I haven't had any problems with my 
updates lately, or with other SourceForce hosted downloads, so I'm 
guessing the SF.net download mirror system is the cause of the trouble.
