ToriUpdate not working, allfiles.php broky
In 2.5 on Linux, ToriUpdate did not work, I never knew why.

In 2.6 on Linux, ToriUpdate still does not work, but now it writes a log file, autoupdate.log:

09-06-2007 21:23:42 Initializing ToriUpdate
09-06-2007 21:23:42 Fetching heads list
09-06-2007 21:23:47 Update terminated - 0 new files downloaded.

Indeed.

Since I had the file name to go, I used strace to figure out how the update was done.

It turns out that it retrieves the list of files to download from this URL:
http://toribash.com/forum/toribash/allfiles.php
which serves a page that (currently) reads:
custom/hampa/head.tga bff2617b31e9f43d66ea85aa16a6a2b8

And sure, since the hampa head is already there in ./custom, it has nothing to download. Some more investigation with strace turned out that if I remove ./custom/hampa, is it correctly downloaded, and that my own head is actually served on toribash.com:
http://toribash.com/cp/custom/ddaa/head.tga

So it looks like the head download problem on the server is still not fixed.

Please, can allfiles.php be fixed? I miss everybody's head.
