Thanks. Hi Bertrand, Can you confirm that you were using PEAR 1.4.11? This bug was caused by shoddy error handling in code I wrote a while back in PEAR_Downloader, and was unearthed by Pierre's addition of download_dir/temp_dir, as it changed some default behavior. I added a helpful error message in 1.5.0a1 that fixes the problem. If you are using 1.5.0a1, then that's a problem that must be fixed. sigh... :) Greg
