I can not find  'mbox100.zip' in Russian Internet 
just now -- rambler, yandex, google have no info about 
this file here.

Maybe that guy has deleted your splited file from 
his server now ...

Or it is just not registered for now on search engines.

Or just names are different ... Yes, names are different!

Please, let me know the address privately, if you have no protests.

I think, that guy just doesn't understand your license well enough.

Free ... What else ... 

I know, I am wrong here, there is free and free, software too.

And the "free" word has more than 50 translations into Russian.

But my own 'free' is free of any restrictions at all,
for example, in the polyglot.zip package.
