SoftIce Symbol Retriever

I guess microsoft recently changed their debug symbols server (http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols).
At least symbol retreiver failed to get the symbols from there, "error - dowload".
On the net I found that numega's support told to use microsofts symchk to download them. Here's another way: download latest debugging tools for windows (You'd need them anyway, cz symchk is there) and then replace dbghelp.dll and symsrv.dll files in ...\SoftICE\SymbolRetriever with the dlls supplied with windbg.
Maybe you're not allowed to do this, if it considered redistribution (on the same machine?).
