thomas --

last night's mirror from tug.org into ctan gave us an apparently new
"protext.exe" without deleting what was there.

so we now have

-rw-r--r--. 1 ctan 34 1223854878 2011-07-14 23:11 ProTeXt-3.0-070811.exe
-rw-r--r--. 1 ctan 34         57 2011-07-14 23:11 ProTeXt-3.0-070811.exe.md5
-rw-r--r--. 1 ctan 34 1223854878 2011-07-14 00:00 protext.exe

it seems likely that the "new" file is just a copy of 3.0, size and
md5sum are the same.

can you explain how this happened.  while an extra gbyte and a bit is
not a "big deal" nowadays, there's going to be a lot of spurious network
traffic because of this new file.

incidentally, there is a dead link from your name under "credits" in
http://tug.org/protext/
