Hi Sean

I run my downloads in parallel for just that reason. Still takes quite
a while though. We generally do our updates a week out, as we've been
caught waiting for stuff to finish with no time to spare once before.

I thought I was installing PTFs this weekend. Over the past 12 hours, I only got 4 CDs from IBM. With 19 discs on my list, this isn't going to work. It's not even enough bandwidth to be interesting on my traffic graph.

Over the same link, I'm sending the discs to my other system in less than 7 minutes each. 7*19=133 or 2 hours 13 minutes. I can live with that. I would have had everything Friday night at that speed.
