I know ibiblio/UNC is considered "old faithful" but their speeds are
much slower in my experience. Usually I use SuSE mirror utah.edu or one
other mirror in Chicago that get me 600-700k "actual" download rates. I
can pull the whole thing down in less than 10 hours. Ibiblio usually
gets me less than 300k "actual" rates. I do the same thing at the
office then do nfs installs.
Glad I could help!
