Login to the jetstream games realm before doing the dist-upgrade, then you'll get nice speeds. What I usually do (because I have a bunch of other apt sources as well) is to do an apt-get update, connect to JSG, do and apt-get dist-upgrade -d (download only), reconnect to the net, and do the apt-get dist-upgrade again downloading the remaining packages I cant get from the JSG realm. Or else comment the other apt sources out of /etc/apt/sources.list and deal with them later. The "-d" parameter is actually quite useful, On another machine I have a nightly cron job that does "apt-get update && apt-get -yd dist-upgrade" so I always have the latest debs on the hard drive for when I do decide to upgrade. -- Sascha Beaumont <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
