Rulebase Updates

We are using the wget update script running for our automated downloads, but it is giving an unexpected end of file using the gzip. Why?

Wget checks to see that the file on the server is newer than the one locally on disk. If it finds that the file on the server is not newer then it does not download the file. The script doesn't pay any attention to this. As a result, when the server's file is not new, gzip will complain that it found an "unexpected end of file" and a 0K file may be present for a short time.

This error is harmlessly ignored (by design apparently).

When the file on the server is newer wget does download the file and the script continues normally and updates the local .snf file.
