Bill gave you a URL, but perhaps a word of explanation. The Extended mirrors are no longer in a separate listing. If you look at teh list of mirrors, you will notice that the last column of the table has a series of letters. The mirrors which include the letter E in that column are the extended mirrors. Actually, if I knew where you were geographically I'd send you a recommended URL :) > I find torrents to be usually > slow, so I prefer FTP.

A lot depends on the client, and your configuration. I've found Azureus to have the best interface for tweaking the settings. > > 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).

Never run across it myself, but then I don't usually download via a web browser (other than Opera, and then only occasionally.
