Help with Gimp-help

As an occasional user of Gimp I don't have all the arcana of installation memorized. Where can I find gimp-help and where should I install it?

Salackware Linux 13.0, Gimp 2.6.6.

Hi John,

Have a look at http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and see if that helps

Look for the bit that says GIMP help files are available at ftp://ftp.gimp.org/pub/gimp/help/

It appears that the English version of the help file is corrupted. First I get ftp download errors (binary download) for lines that consist only of a carriage return. I did it twice and got the same message. Next when I try to bunzip2 the file I get

bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing. Input file = gimp-help-2.6.0-html-en.tar.bz2, output file = gimp- help-2.6.0-html-en.tar

I can keep trying, but is this a known defect?

No problems here at all. You could try other mirrors and check if you encounter the same problems.

There are currently no know errors with the files on the FTP servers.
