Hello

  You are right, it seems that the problem only occurs when attempting to 
download from my institute... puzzling... maybe it is because we use ipv6? 
I've encountered problem with ipv6-enabled servers before. Anyway, the 
problem is probably not related to sri, sorry about the fuss for nothing :)

thanks a lot, keep up the good work,
