i found that even with a 56k connection with compression
(which works against you in this case), the download took significantly
longer.  modems can be difficult to keep connected.  this in addition
to the fact that i didn't know what time of day the new iso was cut,
made it nearly impossible to download the iso.


what about setting up a bittorrent tracker ?

it could solve the issue and allow to have several versions of the ISO
available online for some time from various sources.
