 > You really think the correct behavior when one file is not found is for
 the whole thing to fail?

 Not at all, However, AFAIK, Its Gears which produces the error, Not
 !WordPress.

 But remember: a missing file means a incomplete install, Why should
 WordPress work around an incomplete install?

 The manifest could manually check that every file exists before sending
 the list, However, thats IO time consuming, The file is designed not to
 put any load on the server as its requested multiple times - If you can
 think of a better way?

 I'd appreciate someone who has developed with Google Gears to chime in and
 set the record straight where the blame lies.

 Same issue in support forums, Solved by correctly uploading files:

 It appears this can be caused by the WordPress Automatic Upgrade plugin
 when running under Firefox with the FlashBlock plugin installed (According
 to that link)
