For some time I did parallel upgrades starting from a squeak3.0 and a
Squeak3.1 image. 
They never became the same or even close, I now live with only that 3.1 (Oh
yes: my upload-succes was under Windows98 from that 3.1 image)

Hi, John -

Given that we now have a fair number of successes elsewhere, you probably
are having some sort of network problems.  If you are interested in a
work-around, it is possible to load updates in two stages:  first download
them to your disk by executing...

	Utilities readServerUpdatesThrough: nil
		saveLocally: true
		updateImage: false

and then load them in by executing...

	Utilities applyUpdatesFromDisk

For this to work, all the updates must be in a subdirectory named 'updates'
in your working directory (the first command should do that).

This should at least allow you to separate your file transfer problems from
the process of updating your image.

Another tactic is to execute, eg,

	Utilities readServerUpdatesThrough: 4090
		saveLocally: false
		updateImage: true.

If that completes successfully, then save your image, and execute this again
through 4100, and so on until you have succeeded through the 81 updates.

I think these suggestions must be on some SWIKI help page.
If not they should be.

Good luck with this.

	- Dan
