Thanks -- I'll consider it.

    But, I'm still in the punishment phase -- i.e., I'm angry and don't want 
to play 'nice' anymore.

    I placed a new 'build' on my site this morning, and let my group know of 
its existence on our ng.

    Just a few minutes ago, I had the first 'sniff' by an abuser where he 
was (apparently) setting up for an attack tonite maybe, and where I 
substituted an 'O' in place of a '0' in the 'files' sub-dir, and of course, 
he got my  '404' response.  He's probably a bit confused now -- I hope. But, 
he'll see I tried to 'spoof' him, and he'll take action again tonite. If he 
had 'clicked'on the download, it would have worked correctly

    But soon (in a week or so), I'll be ready. Then *all* downloads will 
requirea 'click' to get them going not just 'Gets' by CURL .
