It should be okay now. The volume became full while copying the tarball onto it 
the first time so the fiel was probably only partially there when you tried to 
download it. The web page is automated so it lists a file as soon as it sees 
it. You were just too fast. :-)

The volume has now been resized and all the files are properly installed so it 
should be okay now.

The final set of updates in 4.1 are as follows:

General Changes:
   BRL_CMD_WINUP can go above the top row of the screen.
