Re: Unable to download Subversion 1.4.0 windows installer

I will repeat this once more:
1) I have cookies enabled.
2) I have Java enabled.
3) It fails with Firefox 1.5 and Internet Explorer 6.0
4) I don't remember ever having such a problem downloading from other sites.
5) It fails with 1.4.0:
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/34093/svn-1.4.0-setup.exe
6) It fails with 1.3.1 (it was working!):
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/31465/svn-1.3.1-setup.exe
7) It works with 1.3.2 (it was not working!):
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/32856/svn-1.3.2-setup.exe
8) I asked a few friends here at work to try it and it also fails on their
PC.
9) I asked a friend who works at another company to try it and it worked.

Conclusion: for some weird reason it fails when downloading from my
company's PCs.
I will try to speak with the TI department to see if they have any clue of
what may be the problem although I find it realy strange that only some
files of this site give me problems.
Anyway, I will bring it from home.
