I thought the whole point is to get something around the 200GB. with
many thanks and deep admiration to sun... 36G is almost useless.

I suggested before, what about a different ISP for a change? far be it
from me to complain, me and my entire family use actcom and love their
level of service and the speed abroad and from IGLU, but people from
other ISPs complain the site is slower than many other mirrors abroad,
i.e. there is some IIX problem for Actcom, and it would be nice to offer
another mirror on one of the bigger ISPs' nets, where more people have
better, faster access.

from any Israeli linux site or mentioned in linux-il. what is that
server's address, what's on it, and who runs it so we can coordinate?
