I was downloading the gcc41 distfiles. The first file took forever, transferring at about 5KB/sec. The next file transferred (or at least, began transferring) at 130KB/sec or so. I think it's ok most of the time, but sometimes it's very slow. I don't think it's my network. _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
