recommendation would be to grab a copy of mdadm and do it in Linux...
but I know that isn't what you want to do :-)
Another advantage of doing it in Linux is that you can use RAID-5 which
the motherboard RAID chipsets and the cheaper hardware RAID cards don't
support.

It works fine for me. Try 216.239.39.99 to get to it. If this works,
you can add it too /etc/hosts as
216.239.39.99 www.google.com
to always connect.
It could be some problem with the dns servers at your isp not resolving
the name for some odd reason. I would try contacting them.
You can make one big archive and then use the split command(split -b
700m filename). You can then use cat to put them back together.
