I've downloaded 20060720 but when I run --download I get:

could not get /index
could not get http://mynodes.net/pub/linux/netfilter/patchlets/index
could not get /index
could not get http://www.nucleus.it/pom-repo/index
could not get /index
could not get http://people.netfilter.org/ole/pom//index

and connlimit does not appear. Am I doing something stupid?

Ok, but I would *really* like to see this in the stable kernel! Who do I contact 
to encourage it to be included? IMHO it's been stable for years!

Many thanks,
