I always use wget for large files and my simple script adds the restart option if the file already exists. Can't remember when the last time was that I downloaded a >20M file using a browser. I can only get 50K/sec on my 10Gb ADSL, but both Aus mirrors I am getting disc 2 and 3 from are able to supply that at full speed - but I know aarnet for certain only allows Aus traffic so that helps me but I'm sure you guys. (Was interesting to see the aarnet mirror being created before my eyes) I got most of disc1 from the site listed in the "user" mailing list but it degraded slowly during the day and I killed it at around 550M I'll get the rest of 1 when 2 & 3 are finished. -- -Cheers -Andrew MS ... if only he hadn't been hang gliding!
