Hi Kevin,

After logging into the Unidata web site, I was just able downloaded the
Unidata McIDAS-X v2005 distribution file, mcidasx2005.tar.gz, to my
home machine with no problems.  I then looked through the download log
files and see that there have been successful downloads to a variety of
locations (e.g., sites in the US, Brazil, Costa Rica, Italy, Romania,
etc.), so I don't think that there is any systematic problem on our
end.

What browser/version are you running?  Also, to help in troubleshooting,
what is the name and IP address of the machine you attempting to do
the download from?  With this information I may be able to see something
in our log files that will shed light on what is happening.

Cheers,

Tom
