I have same problems for a couple of months ago, since I discovered fou4s all work fine, but I change for trying /etc/wgetrc and set passive_fto to on as Klaus Kaempf told and no more probles with YOU, also using leo.org it's took less than 4 minutes to d/l and install 2 selected patches, over a 64 Kbits cablemodem connection.
Also I'm still working with fou4s over 8.1 and trying it over SLES 8 and OpenExchange 4 with good results in both cases.
I have changed our "URL Multiplexer (tm :-)" to give http URLs instead of ftp URLs for 8.1 and up users earlier on Monday. That should speed up things tremendously.

WOW! Now that's more like it! Thanks for tweaking the URL Multiplexer for us. Any chance of adding a progress bar and/or an elapsed time indicator for YOU? THANKS! Stan
