Yep, it was a resumed download. If for example I started the emerge of KDE, it would start to download and compile whatever it has downloaded already. However, if it comes to a package that has not been downloaded, it will show the other thing that it is waiting on the download to finish. I almost always do a -f first. This is so slow that it can compile it waaaaay faster than it can download it. Plus, I can see how big it is and how much it has left to download. I walked up to the phone box today, they been working on it some more. I saw a lot of wire insulation on the ground where they have been hooking up wires. < Dale says a prayer that it is soon > I figure it will be here shortly after I get KDE and OOo downloaded.
