I have never seen this problem and I cvsup every few weeks on current. I have not done a clean install since last year. Is that a local ftp or the net? Can you make a cd from the iso, or do you not want to? I have done both in the past and the cd is much faster, even if you hae broad band. Maybe not if you have a t3 or better, but not all ftp servers will be fast all the time.
