Well, the problem is that the link is not a ftp link, it is a https link. If there is a ftp server for paying cutomers i dont know about it. Not sure what the deal was with pensacola, it had some bug i submitted to bugtraq. I can install Skipjack just fine on the same machine.
Thank god for the mirror site mirror.hiwaay.net. Which using the same IE 6 browser and machine i was able to use ftp and download at over 400k/Bytes a sec. I just thought of something. The .ISO area for subscribers is a httpS link, could the secure layer be the root of the problem i am having? Perhaps M$ doing something "their" way, and the Redhat web page guy doing it the right way? The web page im refering to is: https://rhn.redhat.com/network/channel/download_isos.pxt Unless your a paying Redhat Network subscriber, dont bother going there it wont let you in. Best 60$ a year ive spent in a LONG time. If i could just get the ISO's fromt here i would be much more happy. Anyways, cheers....
