Another question would be, "Will the points awarded for work done with Beta clients also be scored under the 100* rule if they are uploaded after the update?" (Friday morning here).

I am also receiving an error when my local update server tries to log onto the offical one.

Server.status file is showing:

130 116 118 5000 130 116 118
SERVER DOWN FOR MAINTENANCE, TRY AGAIN LATER
ftp.mshri.on.ca /pub/distribfold/download/patch/

File date stamp is 17/12/2003 09:24

and this from the error.log:

How long will the server be down for maintnenance or should I turn off the local update? Is the problem my end? The PC it's running on has no trouble acting as my mail server and runs the DF client locally too. Internet is 1.5 Mbit ADSL
