Grant; a couple of tips here. First, if your downlad speeds are that slow, try a different FTP site. On cablemodem, I usually hit speeds over 100kbps., and so should you. If your download is slow, it's probably because your connected to an FTP site that is really busy.
Second, when you do the KDE 2.2.2 upgrade, login using a different desktop environmant like Gnome, then open the Mandrake Control Center/Software Manager, and do the updates from there. If you download the updates and KEEP them on your hard drive, you can define the folder which holds the updates as a source location for the updates. That way you're not downloading them again. I just did the updates exactly as I described, and it's running perfectly (so far). Hope that helps?
