I went to the front page and wrote to the only address I could find: the
webmaster. I _BEGGED_ them to mirror the downloads or fix the server.
I've been trying to download the linux static version for 4 days now,
using a download manager. I have to babysit it and restart the
transaction every once in awhile or it will time out and make me restart
from the beginning. Since I can't sit next to this thing all day and
night, I start the thing, watch it as much as I can stand, then stop it
and start again later. This is a PITA to say the least. My download
speeds are always less than 1k, usually less than 200.
I'm currently at about 36% after 4 days. I'm certain the file will be
corrupt whenever I finally finish getting it.
This is the _ONLY_ site I've ever had this problem with that couldn't be
corrected by trying at a
different time of the day.
