Hiya Robert,

Yes, I agree, it's not fun finding out a 38 meg file is toast, but I'm sure
Microchip is just as frustrated as we are. The way I understand it, it's not
Microchip's direct fault. Microchip is just a customer of, and is at the
mercy of, Akamai (http://www.akamai.com/index_flash.html). Again, the way I
understand it is that the problem is happening at Akamai's end. The file is
ok on some of Akamia's servers but not on others -- that's why some people
have problems and others don't. If Microchip's file was corrupted to begin
with, then everybody would be having a problem, but that has not been the
case thus far. Last time this happened we were all asked to submit the
results of typing in 'NSLOOKUP ww1.microchip.com' in the console or command
prompt while we were connected to the internet. Akamai then used this
information to trace which servers had the corrupted ZIP files.
Unfortunately, the problem appears to be happening again.

Best regards,

Ken Pergola
