Thanks Ron,
I only re-subsribed to [EMAIL PROTECTED] yesterday, & hadn't
seen your "English only dload" thread. Already have most of the things
it leaves out....
I'm using ftp.free.fr, which seems to be updating frequently, & giving
me reasonable speed in .nz - just getting
/mirrors/ftp.mandrake-linux.com/Mandrake-devel/7.2beta/i586/
975MB for cooker you say - have 419 so far - probably only 30 more hrs
to go :)
