Thanks for your reply but you'd have lost that bet!

moc@anansi:~/workshop$ find /var/run/slapt-get/ -name kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz -exec md5sum {} \;

moc@anansi:~/workshop$ md5sum /home/ftp/slackware/slackware-9.1/patches/packages/kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz

As you can see, I do not have a zero length file under /var/run/slapt-get and the md5sums for the mirror and the cache match.

moc@anansi:~/workshop$ grep kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz /home/ftp/slackware/slackware-9.1/patches/CHECKSUMS.md5
a7409a91a5ca288b96490ac4e19e20c9  ./packages/kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz
9e4bd29030d793af8df018db05382a99  ./packages/kernel-ide-2.4.24-i486-1.tgz.asc

Matches what's in CHECKSUMS.md5 too.  This is starting to smell like a bug to me rather than user error on my part.  Just ran slapt-get --upgrade again and got the same results as before, slapt-get --clean didn't make any difference either.  I'd prefer it to be a user error because then I could learn something and move on, but it doesn't look like it to me at the moment.
