With the recent changes, the subscriptions seem to be taking longer to ship out (or maybe my perception is skewed due to increased anticipation of releases). Since 4.3 won't be shipped for another 4 weeks or more, I thought I would try to download the ISO image. I could die of boredom faster. > > > > > > I completely understand the servers are busy, but it seems really slow. I have a T1 connection here at the office, and my best attempt at downloading is occurring now, with 16 hours left. Prior attempts have been slower, or keep getting the connection closed. I am attempting to download from ftp.freebsd.org --> usw1.freebsd.org, usw3, and usw4. When I can finally connect, I run into the speed problem. > > > > > > So, my point, is there something I might be doing wrong? Is this usual within the few weeks following a release?
