They're obviously having bandwidth problems. How about asking them nicely to fetch the ISOs once to their central server, and let students download them from there as often as they like? I've worked in multiple University IT departments, and we've never turned down a reasonable request like this, even when bandwidth was severely limited and quotas were in place. They probably won't either at your U. Maybe asking via a C.S. professor would have even more effect. ;-) Emmanuel Regards, -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Downloading issue!
Hi, Am studying at a University in E. Africa but the problem is that our server administrators blocked ftp and filtered out images, so we can not download any image file, the most common extension for operating systems. I was just requesting then if there is a HTTP site with zipped freeBSD image files ready for download. It would really help a number of us out here.

Thanks abundantly, Yours sincerely, Emmanuel I could set up a place on one of my websites for this purpose. Just tell me which image you want and I'll get to work on it. I'll keep the image up for a month or two (or until my host complains about it) so I'll provide a link for others in similar situations. -- Yours In Christ, PIT Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
