Same here...both snort and community gacked out this morning.  I sent an
email to the list a week ago about the large size of the snort snapshot
(86 megs) and got not a single response back ;)  After ripping out all the
precompiled binaries and txt files, the actual rules themselves compressed
are about 4 meg.  Maybe one day they be a tarball that's JUST the .rules
files.  Guess I'll see what happens tomorrow when I try to update again.
