Chris, may I suggest the following: 1. cd to the dir where you downloaded the wrong-dated file 2. change its name to the newname (ie 20031118 instead of 20031109 in the date part) 3. run: rsync -avr distro.ibiblio.org::distros/yellowdog/iso/yellowdog-3.0.1-sirius-20031118-install3.iso . note the "dot" at the end (ie current directory) don't forget that rsync builds a temp file the same size as the target file, so you need another 650MB (odd) space on the filesystem. Mine (cd 1) seems to be whipping along, the temp file increased by 410MB in a 20 minute period so I expect the images are pretty similar in parts. > > > That Ihug Skymedia thing might be a hassle to set up and it's latency is > > crap but, by golly, it's fast. > Dear God, sometimes I find it extremely difficult to obey your commandment > "Thou shalt not envy".
