Ditto. I looked at the HTTP traffic, and I see a "GET /listing HTTP/1.1" go out to bfav.squeakfoundation.org, and a "HTTP/1.1 416 Requested Range Not Satisfiable" come back, and shortly afterwards BFAV reports the failure.

For the HTTP gurus out there, the messages in question:

GET /listing HTTP/1.1
accept: */*
host: bfav.squeakfoundation.org

user-agent: sw-dol/0.60

I don't know enough to tell what should or should not happen here. I do know enough to see that BFAV needs work on its error reporting - "last update failed" really needs a reason!
