RE: [ANNOUNCEMENT] WindowMaker, libPropList, and Openbox setup.exepackages available for testing

Richard,

Hmm... you mention that you can see the directory with your browser... that
means that your browser has a connection open to my ftp server... and I'm
not sure how many connections my server allows per host.  Thus, you may want
to close your browser, wait a few minutes, then open setup.exe and try to
connect again (without opening your web browser to that address).  That may
help...
