[newbie] Faster mirrors?
I'm quite unimpressed with the speed I'm getting from the mirrors for Mandrake 10.0 Official via FTP. Anybody know of a particularly good mirror? Or a bittorrent/jigbo download like there is for Debian?

More of a comment than a question, but yeah. Cheers, SigmaChi -- Registered Linux user #366862 This message was sent from a Microsoft-Free 750MHz Athlon system running SuSE Linux 9.1 (Kernal 2.6.5).

Once you find a site that works well, use it for all the sources that it can handle. you will be happiest that way. -- Mountlake Terrace, WA USA Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
