Although this isn't for Linux, I'd heartily recommend GetRight. It allows you to remove the spyware, which is only there for the unregistered version, and even so, a carefully crafted HOSTS file prevents it from talking back to the spyware collector.
In fact, I use quite a bit of spyware and *none* of it manages to talk back to any host other than the one I want it to! Anything the HOSTS file doesn't route to 127.0.0.1, the firewall stops getting out anyway. Getting off the point though - if you are pulling ISO images, and have to do so in Windows, you'll not go far wrong by using GetRight to help you out. Saved me gigs of bandwidth over the last few years, and I'm on a POTS where I pay by the minute (welcome to the UK, where you'll get robbed blind for a crappy service). > -----Original Message----- > From: Ralph Slooten [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 6:30 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: [newbie] Download accelerators for Linux? > > Yes, I know a VERY good alternative.
