Make sure you check it against its md5 sum after you have downloaded it.
I had a play with a couple of the mirrors metioned on the MEPIS site. As I expected, the ibiblio one seems to be the fastest. This is the URL of the file you need:- ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mepis/released/SimplyMEPIS_6.0_i386.iso and check it against the md5sum here:- ftp://ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/mepis/released/SimplyMEPIS_6.0_i386.md5sum I know that profanity sometimes escapes when one is frustrated, but please try to keep it out of the written word. -- CS
