Currently i'm about 4% done with CD1 (and i sit on an internet backbone,
so this isn't a bandwith issue).  CD3 is at 8%, and CD2 just keeps dying
after 2 or 3%.  *shrug*

Apparently the UL folks never heard of something called a mirror.  Funny,
Redhat has more mirrors than i can shake a stick at, yet this distro that
is being contributed to by companies all over the globe can't seem to get
that right?  *sigh*
