I have an athlon barton core on an epox 8rda3i.  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.
