[Seth Teller]

thanks.

the client is windows XP; the server is linux.

fastcheck is set to true.

are you suggesting that fastcheck is disabled, even
though i've enabled it as an option?

removing the ar files would be a huge pain; i'd have
to reinitialize the archives which would take a few
days.

thanks,

seth
