Francois, what's your idea? Is is planed to do something like multiple download at the same time and fallback to other mirror automatically, this could hurt such behaviour. But displaying all mirrors used at a time could help. François.

François. I like the mirror fallback behavior and the progress bar someone mentioned would be great improvements. There should still a way to kill the whole package update process. This is need because on either slow machines/connections someone might be able to wait for it to finish. Now that I think of it skipping would not have worked for that purpose away. __ The NEW Netscape 7.0 browser is now available.
