Right now I am having trouble downloading the "soft2un.txt" file from MPC site
(probably down or having trouble). The computer gives a site timeout window. But
when I try to get out of the download I almost have to shut the computer down
before it will clear itself.
I downloaded the file a couple of days ago with no problem.
