Yup, the Belgium mirror seems to be broken....

No... although the zipfile can vary cause of different compression rates used (but this is very unlikely), the actual program inside it, in this case Plus!, MUST be exactly the same as the main download.
What CAN happen is that a mirror doesn't have the latest download, but still then that "older" download will be exactly, byte by byte, the same as the (old) main download...

(both times dl-ed from www.msgplus.net)

just downloaded this one from msgplus.net

Confirmed... I also just downloaded that file!!!!!!

conclussion:
* Patchou's server is infected...
* The whole "Elmo"-thing was local and the person on IRC was infected. and it is all a coincidence together with:
* Patchou has updated "something" (but I find it very strange that it is exactly 4096 bytes bigger => mostly a sign of viri)

EDIT:
* "Bad Elmo" seems indeed sponsor related and apparently Patchou has updated the setup package with an updated sponsorpackage....
(but this still doesn't explain the name of the file that GiantSpider got)
