I've been trying in vain all night to download the supplementatry/experimental KDE3 rpms for 7.3 over a 56k connection (which is really a 33k) from ftp.suse.com and ftp2.suse.com.
When I use regular ftp, it always fails. Thereore I've got to use something that supports resuming.
I know, SuSE's ftp site seem to always be overloaded. The transfer rate is horrible and it keeps starting and stopping. Also, SuSE seem to be one of the only RPM based distro that is not mirrored at: ftp.rpmfind.net Regards, Charles P.S.: I am uploading something to SuSE's incoming directory right now and the transfer rate is averaging around 0.9x KB/s! -- The box saids Windows XP or better, so I installed Linux
