no he's not.  "it's wrong", when "it" is a very large file provokes
thoughts of "this guy wants me to guess which file in the tar set is
corrupt".

today, _one_ person, of the many you addressed, thought to check ctan
times vs. tug box times.

and then i noticed that i had made a mistake in mirroring parameters;
i corrected it and ran our mirror again.  i've now pushed the entire
directory to the other ctan nodes, but mirrors will pick the new stuff
up in their own good time.
