A couple of days ago, I wrote complaining that I kept getting "file not found on server errors" when trying to download 8.1 from a number of mirror sites. An experienced Linux hand whose opinion I respect tells me that he's successfully downloaded 8.1 from a Russian site. The site directory listings look quite full with files running from #3 to z in order. I've successfully downloaded SuSE 8.0 in the past so I know the drill but every way I approach the download gets the same result: error messages. Frankly, I like Red Hat 8.0's new desktop. If this nonsense keeps up much longer, it's going to replace the star billing SuSE has enjoyed for a long time on this computer. Has anyone got fresh insights on this matter?

I don't know about your buddy d/l-ing 8.1. Every time I've checked over the past month 8.1/ has been completely empty. Although today I see the directory structure in place the 8.1/suse/i586 dir is empty.
