I have put up a whole bunch of SPARC packages and updated the x86 packages on 
our regular download site. Note that the KBE packages have *not* been updated 
recently, which might be an issue for some.

As a reminder: our "regular" site hosting whatever comes out of my 
workstations at home is http://www.bionicmutton.org/solaris/ ; you can narrow 
the tables down with ?arch=x86 or ?arch=SPARC (there's links on the page for 
the same) so you can then use wget to get everything.

This stuff is hosted at my university, so it ought to have enough bandwidth 
for whatever. But note that the packages are *not* stable, and may vanish at 
any time. You can also see that the SPARC packages are rather incomplete 
compared to the x86 ones -- this is because dillon is a 16-core x86 and my 
u45 is a single cpu. Compiling takes a long time.

On the topic of hosting and bandwidth: dillon is at the labs at Sun NL, so 
hitting that machine eats up their bandwidth, not my university or my home 
DSL. Bang away at it :) Or rather, don't do too many silly things, because 
they only have a single 8mbit connection for that lab.
