Description

The downloads for the current binaries do not seem to complete. (http://archive.apache.org/dist/incubator/log4net/1.2.10/incubating-log4net-1.2.10.zip)
They reach approx 4.7 MB before the connection fails. This appears to be the same problem as bug #LOG4NET-159.

This happens in different browsers (FireFox 2.0, IE 6, Konquer etc), using different platforms and Internet Connections.

I have used wget and although I now have sucessfully managed to download the file, wget also exhibited the same issue:

This could be more of an issue for other users who may rely on IE/FF download and don't have wget or a similar mechanism for retrying.

Go ahead and close off this bug as i have the file, but i just wanted to let you know that as there has now been a few users, the problem may be more than just a quirk.
