Re: Snort 1.8.1 released!

[John Sage <jsage () finchhaven com>]

Just for the record, although I've responded to several people off-list, 
I was downloading snort-1.8.1-RELEASE.tar.gz using the 20010607 build of 
Mozilla 0.9.1, which is also what I used when I downloaded snort 
1.8.1-beta4 just a couple weeks ago.

So although Mozilla 0.9.1 is reporting a download size of about 1.2meg, 
the downloaded file on disk is 3.5meg, and is only tar'ed, and *not* 
gzipped...

I guess something *somewhere* is "helping"...
