I just downloaded both files, result:
from nildram.co.uk (left): size = 3 257 674
from cvsnt.org (right): size = 3 257 674
The creation date of the internal setup files in the package is
2002-02-15 15:25 (both files).
Both files contain exactly the same data.
If this is the old setup or new I can't say because i will not run the
setup since I don't want to change my existing setup. The dates
indicate the new setup....
You must have some caching service somewhere between you and the
servers. I note that the file name is the same cvsnt_1.11.1.3.exe as
when I downloaded several weeks ago (before I got my own compiler up
and running). This might confuse the cache server. It might be a
better idea to put a build ID on the setup file name on the server so
all versions are distinctly differently named, for example
cvsnt_1.11.1.3.b8a.exe. Then the cache service (if existing) would
have nothing to handle. On the other hand, this means that the links
on the page need to be maintained as well....
