I see that as well, unless I hover over the "Symantec Endpoint Protection"
icon in the Windows system tray (near the clock), right click, and select
"Disable Endpoint Protection" (temporarily).  Other firewall/antivirus
software may similarly block Win-test from downloading files.

I've developed a standalone script to update all the CTY and MASTER files
with a single Windows command.  Just go to http://bit.ly/wtscripts,
download UpdateCtySCP.zip, and follow the instructions in the Readme file.
 The scripts require installation of a free program called wget.

Trying again successfully downloads a file but, even after reloading the

If you use the CTYFILES7 batch file you'll see 2013.01.14 for all three
files, because they are downloaded from the AD1C web site:

http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty_wt_mod.dat
http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty_wt.dat
http://www.country-files.com/cty/cty.dat

If you use the CTYFILES command within Win-Test you get something
out-of-date because *this Win-Test directory is not being updated properly:*

http://download.win-test.com/files/country/

Normally the Win-Test directory gets updated at the same time as the
country-files.com site; I don't know why that process is broken now.

Also, use support at win-test.com for all posts to this reflector, not the
f5mzn.org address.
