Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] WindowMaker, libPropList, and Openboxsetup.exepackages available for testing


Harold,

I just got a message saying install incomplete try again?  Im not getting
any of the files, it can connect ok though and i see the packages available
but dont actually get the transfer started.  Could this be a read permission
on the directory or files?
