The main update servers agreeably are under a lot of stress, however they are running a T3 Pipe for comms. The excuse they all give up the updates or download's Disk I/O's are pounding the servers to death. The issue is the amount of HDD I/O access I am told is the issue - this could easily be fixed by adding another 10 GIG of RAM to their Netware Server which should answer 90% requests for files from cache. Why they have-not done this I cannot imagine. With the popularity rising of the product no one is going to get nothing unless they increase their own FTP performance. Indeed any worthwhile server should be able to answer any request for file at min 80% of the time. For a company that produces the worlds arguable most technologically advanced serves in Netware I cannot understand why ANY Novell owned company can not offer better performance.
