Well I spoke too soon!  ;)

After downloading some binaries it gave this error on two files:
(Null) - file article.c: line 491 (articles_set_decode_state): assertion 
`qty >= 1' failed

In both cases it did download the file fine but it never acknowledged 
that it was downloaded.  I allowed me to download the files again and 
again saving multiple copies...

Certainly not a big error, but I wanted to let someone know!

Thanks again for the great update!
