--- Comment #3 from Kevin A. McGrail <km...@pccc.com> ---
To work around a broken tool, you can just use sa-update --check-only -D to get
the new version (or query DNS directly..), use any tool to get the files and
then run sa-update on the files themselves

For example, I wrote these instructions on the 5th:

Download the latest tarball of rules, the asc and the sha1 file. That's this
for today which I got the # by running sa-update -D --checkonly:

-r-xr--r-- 1 4474 4474 262819 Mar  4 21:44 1663890.tar.gz
-r-xr--r-- 1 4474 4474    836 Mar  4 21:44 1663890.tar.gz.asc
-r-xr--r-- 1 4474 4474     79 Mar  4 21:44 1663890.tar.gz.sha1

Put all the files in the same dir on the box and run sa-update --install 
1663890.tar.gz

Otherwise, I think if you have curl installed, there is an expectation it
works.  If it doesn't, uninstall it and there are other fallbacks built in.

Beyond that, I think if you want this feature, you'll have to do some legwork
by writing some code to get the ball rolling or at least try and convince
someone on the dev list to write some code.

KAM
