> Strictly speaking, this has nothing to do with LaTeX but has been a
> problem for me for the past couple of months with CTAN: when I try to
> "get the directory's contents as a .zip archive", I get a succession of
> folders the last one of which is empty.
>
> The latest occurence was when I tried to get the package called "cancel"
> suggested here by Berman. When I clicked on
> http://www.ctan.org/getfile/?filename=macros/latex/contrib/misc/
> and then on ".zip", I got the following folders
>
> pub/tex/macros/latex/contrib/misc/
>
> where misc was empty.
>
> Could anyone tell me what am I doing that is even more stupid than
> usual? I would be much obliged.
