I think there's a problem with getting files from this site to UNIX systems
because all the file names have slashes (/) in them.  Thus, if you try to
get the file

	XX/YYY

your UNIX system won't let you because you don't have a directory named
XX.  Try getting the file with a different local name, like

	get XX/YYY xx_yyy

This worked for me.
