    Anyone know of a .deb download of either of the above? My Wicd hosed (or I hosed it during an update) and I'm kicked off line.

    I know the tar files are out there, but...you know... :D

    ^This won't work too well if he has a hosed network, lol.

    But you can just point your browser to that URL above on another computer, browse through, fetch the .deb, copy it on a usb key or something and use good old dpkg -i, you'll be in business :D
