While it won't help with the initial download of cooker or the beta3
iso, make sure that you are aware of the rsync download capability
(man rsync), because it makes incremental updates from cooker, and
eventually (I hope) beta3 feasible (in fact, enjoyable) for those
with low bandwidth (ie V90) access.

Here's my rsync script.   Create a file in a directory with touch,
copy and paste this in, edit appropriately, save, chmod a+x it, then
with internet up execute it with a preceding ./ from a terminal at
that directory.

#!/bin/bash
echo
echo hda6 must be mounted to /mnt/local/cdrimage  !!
echo for do-nothing test run, call with n parameter
echo

echo rsync -avP$1 --delete --stats
echo mirror.aarnet.edu.au::pub/mandrake-devel/cooker/
echo /mnt/local/cdrimage/hydrogen/
echo

rsync -avP$1 --delete --stats \
mirror.aarnet.edu.au::mandrake-devel/cooker/ \
/mnt/local/cdrimage/hydrogen/

--
