Damn!  That was many people downloading from it.
Maybe I should just create a service where people from ale send me a few
bucks on PayPal and I'll mail them the FC3 DVD or ISOs.  I have plenty
of media and do not mind.


I'm sure others can do the same. for those with little or no bandwidth. 
But that would not solve the problem of keeping ftp.ale.org traffic to a
low for updates and misc. files.
