I've just uploaded the following packages to the 'Pre-Releases'

A have a fair amount of trouble downloading the prereleases.
It appears that package download starts up, and then often
just hangs. When I check the *ftp..* log there's always an
error message. It appears that ftp download (copy-file?)
doesn't notice the errors? Or perhaps, it has noticed the
error and is trying to send signal to the ftp process?
(3) (error/warning) Error in process filter: (error Cannot send signal to process)
Also, Any possibility that the pre-releases directory could be
mirrored?

1) Tools -> Packages -> Add Download Site -> Pre-Releases
Footnotes:
[1] XEmacs 21.1 users: substitute "Options -> Manages Packages" for
"Tools -> Packages".
I don't have a Pre-Releases in 21.1
I assume this is the right way to add prereleases:
(add-to-list
'package-get-download-sites
'("Pre-Releases" "ftp.xemacs.org"
"/pub/xemacs/beta/experimental/packages"))
