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.
