The script I use to download .deb files uses libwww-perl, which is apparently not very effective for FTP connections. I typically get speeds of 2-2.5 kB/s using HTTP and 0.3 using FTP (this is over a 2.88 kB/s connection). Is there an HTTP site where I can download non-us packages? The only site I know of is ftp://nonus.debian.org. (I download my regular hamm files from http://www.cdrom.com)
Any help would be most appreciated. Also, is there any hope of convincing the owners of www.debian.org to include a mirror of ftp.debian.org on their HTTP server? --Bill. -- William R Ward Bay View Consulting http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] 1803 Mission St. #339 voicemail +1 408/479-4072 [EMAIL PROTECTED] Santa Cruz CA 95060 USA pager +1 408/458-8862 PGP Key 0x2BD331E5; Public key at http://www.bayview.com/~hermit/pubkey.txt ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.
