No. Downloaded the DVD delta via ftp this morning in about 1 1/2 hours. Took 2.5 hours for the applydeltaiso to run and I'm now going through the upgrade. I have tried bittorrent many times in the past and every time it was dead slow so I gave up on it and will only use ftp from here on out. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
