 Well netscape corp screwed me with politics and listed me in their mirror 
 listings. Well there used to be more mirrors but it seems that we are one 
 of three listed now. And until beta 5 or release version are out I can 
 not get out of their list. And I can not remove their software until this 
 happens.

Well, you seem to be more tolerant than me.  I hope they're paying you
well for the privilege of being swamped for their commercial benefit.

If they're not I'd just say to them Either you take me out of that
list by date or I remove Netscape.  Up to you.

But then I'm a bastard :-).

FTP site performance low

[Bruce Perens]

Is there any prediction how long the FTP site will be bombarded by people
retrieving netscape? Is this going to be a regular occurrance? It's perhaps
a bit too slow for mirror scripts to run well. Performance from here seems
to be about 1K/second or less.

Thanks

Bruce

Well limits were just droped since we are close to school starting again.

So for now please use a mirror. Or get the files during the day when 
there is fewer users.
