Well, i would have beleived it was the fact the Freebsd.org was loaded, 
but it did this everytime in the bindist after re-starting the install at 
LEAST 15 times.....so i dont think that is the case. but yet, the same 
day, my friend installed it no problem, the user distro. i tried the 
minimal, user, kern-developer, ect.. none worked.  and eventaully it will 
get passed and continue the download, and it'll stop some where between 
the 12-15 meg range, and never come back, all routes are still inplace.
Thanks,
Joel yancey
