I sended a patch about it when php.net was down, iirc... but still didn't ask for phpweb karma. Goba, can you check the patch and if okay, apply it? It's indeed quite strange that alle downloads are broken if php.net is down, as was discussed before... Note: I attached the patch again, and don't forget to add log_download.php too... --Jeroen
