I am using broadband, Comcast to be exact, and each disk is taking 15 to 20 hours to complete." Tell me about it! I had that same experience over the President's day weekend; i.e., last weekend when I downloaded the 02/19/2005 set of four disks. And you continue: "Is there any alternate way to get these files, either from another server, a torrent, etc?" I've put them on my FTP server, and would love to know what kind of download speeds one gets when taking them from my site. Go to: ftp.jamsite.us/linux and give it a try. If you do, would you please respond (on or off list) with a report on the transfer rate? Thanks! John
