Considering 8.1 just hit the ftp servers, I think it's a fair bet that they are completely overloaded at the moment. I'm sure at least the mirrors will start to settle down over the next couple of days Anders

I'm curious: run top in a window at the same time, and sort by memory usage (M). In suse 7.1 and 7.3, YOU (bignfat) can use 500 Mb. I think that it is so slow not because the ftp transfer is slow, but because of that memory and local processing. In fact, network transfer during that phase are small, they do not use up my modem bandwidth. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
