Paul and I debugged this and found what is happening:

* Packages that do NOT have a signing segment are not being downloaded.
	- Any package before or equal to 1.3.25.0 does not have a signing segment, and thus will not be downloaded.

Paul and I have a patch that fixes this problem.

Can we get the version of the package that is failing to download?

Dan
