Are you using
http://mapcar.org/tsvn-snapshots/latest/ ?

I think that what you see might be your browser caching the .msi file.

This is incidentally also why all of the bug reports that I've created
within the last couple of hours are not against rev 2923 as I've
stated, but against rev 2870.

Solutions to the problem are straightforward:
 1. Tell everyone to flush their caches before downloading (cumbersome).
 2. Add "Pragma: No-Cache" headers to the HTTP headers when files are
downloaded from the nightly directory. This would cause browsers to
avoid caching the files.
 3. Rename at least the .msi file when compiling. I'd prefer it to
include the number of the revision it's compiled from, as I save it to
disk using this number anyway.

I'd personally prefer that both solution 2 + 3 be implemented.
Only has to be fixed once, whereafter everyone benefits.

1 is pretty much what we're currently doing, which is a hassle
everytime one downloads a nightly.
