I've been trying for an hour to download the Mac client from all 3 mirrors, can't connect to any of them. Can someone (Slashdot?) set up another mirror (or 3?)
(Alternatively, can someone ICQ it to me? 18102799)
Thanx,

I think this is a hoax. It would be unlikely that anyone could get your username and PW when you look at their auction, because that information is not stored on your hard drive. The cookie that eBay sends you when you sign in might be on your HD, but a cookie wouldn't contain that info, just a unique identifier (anyone want to check this?)
What about people who are not members? You don't have to be an eBay member to view an auction, and even if you are a member, you don't have you sign in unless you are placing a bid.
Am I missing something? This just doesn't add up. I think we've been the victims of another virus hoax.
