Huh? I just downloaded the ports collection at average speed above 50 k BYTES PER SECOND! Perhaps you just got it at a slow time. I've seen ftp.cdrom.com hit 200 k bytes per second. I've even installed FreeBSD off of it in less than 20 minutes, including ALL the sources and ports! Vince -----Original Message----- From: Dennis [SMTP:dennis@etinc.com] Sent: Thursday, February 18, 1999 2:13 PM To: hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: cdrom.com bandwidth limits It seem obvious that ftp.cdrom.com has a limit of about 56kbs...is this a good idea? Considering that to download a release it now takes all day instead of 30 minutes, it substantially increases the chances of a failure and that multiple attempts will have to be made, which increases the overall bandwidth requirements rather than decreasing them. It also increases the number of simultanous downloads that are occuring.
