It's just not worth it...

At this very moment, I'm downloading Mandrake Linux 9.1 RC2 at 234Kb/s.
I don't know what you're talking about. I had a hell of a time finding
a mirror from which I could download a copy of Phoebe. Red Hat mirrors
are at least as bad, if not worse than Mandrake's. Try this:
ftp://mirror.mcs.anl.gov/pub/Mandrake-iso/i586
To get RC2. Wait until I'm done though. ;-) Another 14 minutes for
200Mb. :-)
For Mandrake updates, I use the server in Utah. I've always had good
luck with it.
HTH,
Jim
