Corrupted file x2x-1.27-1-src.tar.bz2

[Thomas Chadwick]

Strange...  I could have sworn that I did exactly what you describe 
(right-click followed by Save-As) to test the tarbals when I originally 
posted them, and they turned out just fine.  However, I re-tried that just 
now and I'm seeing the problem.  Classic ASCII vs. binary transfer snafu.

Since I don't have access to an FTP server, I'll have to send them as email 
attachments (off-list).

Thanks.
