Changed OS to OS/2. so OS/2 support will see this.

That happened to me using Netscape 2.02 the other day too, and at other times.
That is an FTP server problem. There are no files actually in
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/. The files there are all
links to the build date directories in
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/. Also, the filename has been changed.
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/latest-trunk/mozilla-i386-pc-os2-vacpp.zip
is there now, but it is really a link to
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla/nightly/2002-11-22-12-trunk/mozilla-i386-pc-os2-vacpp.zip.
That's the build I'm using.

Marking invalid. Not a Mozilla problem.

This is still not resolved.  What I am reporting is a problem with a link on a
mozilla.org web page, not a Mozilla problem.  The link still does not point to a
valid file or symbolic link that can be used to download the lates Waprzilla
build for OS/2 Warp.

As it appears that the file name being used to store the night builds have
changed (which I have no problem with), whoever is responsible for the OS/2
Warpzilla Page at mozilla.org should change the link so that it points to the
proper file name.  Or delete the link from the page.

This is valid.

I need to update the main OS/2 page for the new download name

Sorry I misread about the ftp file URL being accessed via the web page link,
which was not explicit in the original report.

Going straight to the ftp page for a directory listing has been a problem off
and on lately that doesn't depend on the means used to get there. Sometimes the
link to the os2 file displays normally, but when pasted into wget fails with
file not found. Sometimes the link is displayed out of order with ./ prepended.
Sometimes it is listed with garbage characters appended.

I checked this in so it should be fixed in an hour or so.
