Actually, no I won't. After looking at snort.org I see that the 2.9.0.4 
rule set is not yet available for registered users. So, you'll get a 
404 (or 500) for the rules file too.

You can fix this for future use by using 
snortrules-snapshot-edge.tar.gz as the name of your rules file. That 
way, you will get the latest version of rules for either registered or 
subscriber rules automatically. Right now, for registered users this 
will be a 2.9.0.3 rule set. Which should work with 2.9.0.4.

Now, per the rules of the drinking game, I will be taking a shot or two 
for replying to my own email.
