Sounds reasonable to me.
The most consistent feedback (ok, vats of vitriol) that
I get about the OpenSolaris download process is two-fold:
1) why is there no link to the solitary sparc or x86
dvd iso image? People *really* hate having to start
5 or 6 separate downloads when they have the connection
to sustain a single iso download.
As a quick fix suggestion the SUN Download Manager can be
enhanced to start >1 download streams in parallel for the file
segments, unzip and subsequently join them together (and
also verify the checksums).
This should ease the hate factor.
A good suggestion, except that the people who complain to
me about it really do not want to be using a java app in
order to do a download. wget is where it's at for them.
The incrediblylongandwierdlygeneratedrandomdownloadfilenames
are also a significant annoyance factor.
