Dear Rivet Team!
I have a problem using the rivet-bootstrap. This is the output I got 
after running ./rivet-bootstrap.

Rivet-1.8.3.tar.gz  and HepMC-2.06.06.tar.gz downloaded successfully but 
then:

./rivet-bootstrap
Getting http://www.hepforge.org/archive/rivet/Rivet-1.8.3.tar.gz

An error has occurred while bootstrapping Rivet or one of its 
dependencies. Sorry!
Please contact the Rivet developers at rivet at projects.hepforge.org, with 
a description of your problem, a copy of this script and any error trace 
that may have appeared and we'll try to get it fixed as soon as 
possible. Thanks for your help!

I really appreciate your help!
Thanks a lot!
Cheers,
Lisa
