[ale] SUSE LINUX 9.3 ISO images Released to Mirrors

[Joshua Kite]

Has anyone else had a problem getting CD1 to download? I've tried about 5 
mirrors, and on several occasions the download has reached 99% and then 
hung. I kicked off the ale site and it failed, although I don't know how far 
it got before it died, as I had to leave after I kicked it off (there were 
other sites which downloaded much quicker).

Thanks for any help.
