--- Comment #12 from Ken Sharp kennybobs@o2.co.uk 2011-10-02 19:29:07 CDT --- I get exactly the same log with http://download.skype.com/ec6db485060a2b412bd06dbf31a788cc/partner/59/SkypeS... but this seems to download whatever the latest version is.
However, before freezing it opens up a link for me to download Skype for Linux in my default browser (in Linux). Perhaps this is the intention and not a bug after all.
