The page where I got the ghost link from is this:

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r5620695-Ghost-2003-Floppy-for-BootCD

The first post gives a direct link to the file.  If you click on the 
link and download it, you get a file with 1,340,942 bytes and it will 
have the current (real-time) date and time.

The direct link is this (this is what I posted earlier in this thread):

http://www.dslreports.com/r0/download/265545~688de4fa5cfd7a3653cce1c3f147b3d4/G
HOST_BOOTx.zip

I now see that if you try to download this file using wget, or by 
directly entering it into a browser, you get a file with 1,339,806 
bytes, and it has a date of 1/11/2004 (at least that's what I'm seeing). 
  And it won't unpack.

It might be that the dslreports server is not giving the entire file 
unless your http file request includes this as the referrer url:

www.dslreports.com/forum/r5620695-Ghost-2003-Floppy-for-BootCD

wget won't give any referrer URL (unless you specifiy one on the command 
line, assuming wget has that ability).

So in other words, you need to access this page using any browser:

http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r5620695-Ghost-2003-Floppy-for-BootCD

And then click on the ghost download link in the first post.
