RE: [SLUG] Mandrake 8.2

[Ben Donohue]

Seems the whole world is downloading Mandrake 8.2 at the moment. There is a scramble to get on the mirrors, even one's with some bandwidth. I wonder why Mandrake didn't give the mirror sites 24 hours notice prior to the release so that they could be "primed" up with the distribution before the flood. The mandrake site's list of mirrors seemed to be changing every 15 mins as mirrors were taken down and others were put up. Anyway it'll slow down... one day. I have CD 2.  1 and 3 are on their way. Email me off list if you want some burned/do a swap.

But if anybody else wanted to download cd2 or cd3, I would be willing to swap the cd's by post. Let me know if you are interested.   Also once I have the 3 cds if anybody wanted the 3 cds they could post me 3 blanks and a self addresed, pre payed packaging, and I would be willing to burn em a copy at no extra charge. (except for maybe a 3 or for day wait, but that may be worth it for some people at 1.8gb)   Regards,   Karl Bowden
