Hello everyone.

I'm trying to download the Fedora disks of Fedora from:

ftp://linux-speakup.org/pub/speakup/disks/fedora/current

and it is running very slowly.

I'm getting just over 1k/second.

However, when I tried to download the latest version of JFW, I was getting 
over 600K/sec.

Has anyone else tried to download speakup, and is it going this slowly for 
you?

At this rate, it claims it will take about 106 hours to download the disk 4 
file of fc3, which is only about 375MB.

Thanks,

Jeremy

Why not just let them be slow and do something else while downloading?
Why not just put it for downloading in a download manager to run in the
back ground. Why not use something like get right?
Why complain?
Speakup and the servers that house it are free. Do you remember 14.4
when it was fast? 28.8? 9600? Come on, stop being a modern internet
spoiled brat.

Hello;
Well when the servers are run off a rogers connection, that's the price
you pay.

is there any way to search the archives?  I remember checking once 
before and I didn't find a way to search the archives.  That was a long 
time ago so things may have changed since then.  Otherwise, surely you 
wouldn't expect somebody to look through all of the archives.  That 
would probably take days.
