I had similar problem with beta4, but it has been fixed in beta5.
Make sure you are using library from beta5 or (better) download
the final release. If this does not help, tell what the program prints,
"there was an error" or "filesize=<invalid value>",
and which network drive are you using (Netware, MSNet, Samba etc...)
