[sorry keep sending this to the wrong address]



the extended ftp mirrors (actually none of the mirrors) are not listed on the 
OOo web site, from what I last saw.  I find torrents to be usually slow, so I 
prefer FTP.  My FTP client (filezilla) does a fine job of downloading large 
files.

downloading large files only becomes a problem on a browser if it gets within a 
few packets of 2GiB in size. then it either gets weird behavior (in the case of 
IE, where it won't download: "HTTP header error", or in the case of FF, where 
it gets truncated).  Linux x64 FF I am told does not have this problem.  I 
first learned about this from the OpenSUSE web site.

I also learned that you cannot make ISO's larger than 4GiB with mkisofs unless 
[?you are using an alpha version and?]  you are using the -iso-level 3 option.  
I discovered that the windows program http://sf.net/projects/cdrtfe contains 
mkisofs and cdrecord for windows and it is free and it has a decent GUI.
