So, I guess it's safe to say that although the files show as listed (at least for Windows, anyway); that the downloads simply aren't ready for prime-time? I attempted to download the same file for over an hour until it finally timed out. I think I'll try from home late tonight. Maybe, we should give the patches another week? I don't mind waiting. If they would send out an official announcement indicating that the patches have been delayed, that would work for us. AR System Patch Release Date
6.03 020 January 15, 2007 7.0.01 001 January 22, 2007 Thanks, Michelle ________________________________ From: Action Request System discussion list(ARSList) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Axton Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2007 11:22 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: BMC Support Web Site Performance ** 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. Axton Grams On 1/23/07, Axton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: 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 7.0.01 p001, 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.

The performance makes it almost unusable. What is the deal? I can't even download a patch...
