Use a mirror site! Freebsd's main server is (/FLAMESUIT ON) very overloaded, (/FLAMESUIT OFF) and on a connection which dies going through MCI's teeny-tiny little pipe! I always have great luck with ftp2.freebsd.org and ftp3.freebsd.org! Hoping to see you loading in a couple of HOURS!!! J.A.

The CD from Walnut Creek is too expensive and I have been downloading it at home now for over a week. It seems like I will never get a chance to install it. Is there less expensive way to get the CD?
