Maybe we should all put a support ticket in to BMC requesting overnight delivery of the patches on physical media since the software is not available online. Maybe it will seem worthwhile to invest in the design/infrastructure of the patch distribution services.

The patches still aren't available. I'm looking at the 7.0.01 server for solaris and all the directories are empty. I wonder why it takes several days to copy a couple hundred mb of data. If you look at the modify time of the files in the ftp server for 7.0.01p001, the modify times range from 1/22/2007 09:52 to 1/23/2007 02:19, and all the files aren't there. It's like they are running the ftp server on a pizza box with a single SCSI-1 drive connected to the net via a dialup connection. This is horribly unusable. FTP is a PITA from where I sit too. I had to install a packet sniffer, grap the ftp username a password, then connect via our ftp proxy to the ftp server. Forget about getting to the ftp server directly from the web page. Forget about using wget to fetch the patch withouth grabbing several hundred mb of files I don't need. It's like no one even thought about how the site would be accessed or used when they threw this patch distribution scheme together.
