It must be something with your connection since it still works here. If you
are interested I can send binaries from this page directly to you - tell me
where.

Posted. I suppose You have ~600 KB free in your box.

I suppose it is a bad idea since when original is not accessible than it is
hard to support online updates. If it is necessary I can ask Chris about
making mirror at my abx.art.pl.

With the same internet provider ?

This is most likely a problem on your side if it persists for a longer
time.  There has not been a problems with the server and i have never
heard of others having problems accessing it.  If someone wants to mirror
the files i have no objections, but he has to make sure to update the
files regularly and please inform me about the mirror.

Sounds good.  I won't have time for an update before next Wednesday
probably so don't hurry... :-)

Since IC_Mesh is probably slowest iso_csg object and my full power currently
renders all sample files available and insert menus then don't be hurry with
Wednesday... :-)

Actually, the .gray conversion multiplies each component by a factor 
(because each component has a different contribution to the total gray 
value) and sums up the results. This usually works fine for colors, but 
you have a point which may have negative components, so there are valid 
results that will still give w.gray = 0. It is better to check each 
component individually...but you are right in that the if() statement is 
unnecessary.

#macro IInside(Obj, Vec)
    #local W = <1,2,3>;//trace(obj,vec,z);
    ((W.x = 0) & (W.y = 0) & (W.z = 0))
#end

A shorter and clearer way (assuming you have math.inc included and don't 
care about the macro overhead):

#macro IInside(Obj, Vec)
    #local W = <1,2,3>;//trace(Obj, Vec, z);
    (VZero(W))
#end

BTW, always use at least one upper-case letter in variable names, it 
prevents conflicts with future keywords or standard include stuff. This 
has happened before, I think the Liquid Spray include used "r" as a 
name, which became a reserved keyword in MegaPOV.

Yes. I forgot to mention such exceptions but it appear so rarely that I
usually ignore them. Of course .gray vs. .x&.y&.z is not so different if it is
written in such short macro since current implementation of macros use most of
time to jump over files. In theory all your notes are valid and important.
