Oh oh, I have this too.  The same file two times in the same directory
(one time with .tmp suffix). And if I start a new download it gets
downloaded again (the old .tmp file gets clobbered then).
I've already reported this so I hope Robert is able to reproduce the
bug.  So I guess if I choose another mirror the next time the same file
will be downloaded again in another directory.

Download not finished yet;)
Note that I have installed tetex-beta-20001218-4 and I just clicked
through the chooser without looking what was choosen.

only the newest one... that works only if the package is also installed,
else the newest one gets downloaded twice.
Maybe it will work ok if I clobber my /etc/setup directory?
But I have not read any advice to do so.  Should I try?

If I change the sites again now (after downloading ncftp latest) without
installing ncftp latest, this happens:

And here it is again (the second time):
