Re: IBM download site is very slow

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

IBM was doing some 'significant maintenance' this weekend which they 
said would make some things completely unavailable shat could certainly 
be the problem with speed this weekend.  Personally I downloaded the 
latest 7.1 Cume and Technology Group 3 as well as the updates to the HMC 
for 7.7.3.0 at normal speed (which for me is only 3.0Mb) on Friday 
night, but as usual YMMV.
