Don’t you just hate that?

So I went to see if I could start a download of Knoppix this morning and discovered that I was getting a whopping 1.9KB/second download speed on the CD image. Gee at that rate I’d be ready to burn the thing sometime next week! A quick switch of mirrors has me at a much better 30KB/second download speed. Let’s see if we can keep it up and have the image ready by the time I leave at 5? 🙂

If not, I’ll burn it tomorrow when I come in and then I’ll have it to use all summer, assuming I don’t find another job in the meantime.
