Subject: Slackware corrupted!

The new Slackware packet is corrupted on *most* ftp-servers
including sunsite and all its mirrors!
The corrupted version is far too big and does not work!!

Affected are all ftp servers that still have lots of "a"-disks.
The correct version has only a1-a3 and ap1-ap4.

Cause: the standard mirror program does refuse to delete
more than a certain number of files at once. However in this release
lots of files were moved to other directories and the old copies
should all be removed.

Is there a way to have the mirror program do all deletes?
If not all ftp site admins should do this manually.
