Looking at the paths, trying to retrieve "http://bloodgate.com/mirrors/tdm/pub/pk4/ /crc_info.txt" will fail, as this file is non-existant. It seems the updater somehow ends up with a space in the URL, and then appends "/" and then the file it wants.

The fix consists of deleting the additional space in the URL in mirrors.txt, but it would be good if the updater could remove any spaces before/after the URL automatically. Otherwise, some of the mirrors might fail, which only some users see.

Was the tdm_mirrors.txt version with the extra bloodgate space already distributed?

Yes, I think the current file has the space already in it (I just edited it and commented everything except bloodgate.com out).

There was a thread where someone reported that all mirrors work except bloodgate.com.

Even if not yet distributed, users might modify their file locally for testing and run into this issue and the solution is not apparent from the error occuring at all.

I added a line in tdm_update to remove all spaces in the url.

I used it to update an empty folder to 1.07 using a mirrors file with bloodgate being the only entry, and with that entry having a trailing space.

It worked fine.

I checked in a new tdm_mirrors.txt with the space removed.

Any 1.08 update attempt will first get the list of mirrors from thedarkmod.com, which will bring in the corrected bloodgate entry, so even w/o the fix to this issue, it would work okay.

The issue fix becomes important if someone asks tdm_update to NOT update the list of mirrors, which allows the bad bloodgate entry to be read.

Added a line to remove all spaces from a tdm_mirrors.txt entry that accidently has one (i.e. bloodgate).
