Why did SAME *.crl needed to be dl'd MANY times? (Score 1)

First - thanks for letting me know what happened!

For me, the trouble was NAV intercepting all my right-clicks.

But the thing I don't understand, is:
I packet-monitored what happened, so I saw that my PC connected to http://64.94.110.11/

This was the "conversation":

My PC:
GET /Class3SoftwarePublishers.crl HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
User-Agent: CryptRetrieveObjectByUrl::InetSchemeProvider
Host : crl.verisign.com

I right-clicked once more, and checked also *that* "conversation" - and it was the same, apart from the timestamps.

So - apparently that CRL server was not *completly* DOS'ed - altough it tokk 5-10 seconds before the reply came.

Why did my PC need to download that SAME *.crl - Class3SoftwarePublishers.crl - so MANY times???

I also - for fun - downloaded all the 51 *.crl's on that server, *manually*, to look at them. (Until yesterday, I had no idea what a *.crl was)
And I did get all those 2.57MB downloaded, although it took some minutes. So, I'm 100% sure that CRL server was not *completly* DOS'ed.

Or have I misunderstood it all! Was the http://64.94.110.11/ site maybe the VeriSign "fix"? If so - then I apologize for being so stupid. But still, my 1st question remains:

Why the numerous downloads of the SAME file?

With regards,
