The "Secure" version of Netscape for Linux is *NOT*

I just installed the "secure" version of Netscape off of the "US Only"
download site.

Seems that it is actualy the international version and not the 128 bit version.

How many people have downloaded this version only to find that they
downloaded something that they could have downloaded faster from a mirror
site?  How many people have had their downloads slowed down due to people
downloading insecure Linux versions from the US only site?

I think I have a justifiable reason to be pissed.

Another waste of my time...

What makes you think you got the export version?

Here's one way to find out.  If you look in the Security Preferences
panel under the Options menu, there are two "Configure" buttons for
configuring what ciphers are enabled for SSL 2 and SSL 3.  The domestic
version supports a greater variety of options, including triple DES.

  I just downloaded the tar file for linux, and it does contain
the US version.  What makes you think that you got the export
version?
