[ale] SUSE LINUX 9.3 ISO images Released to Mirrors

[Joshua Kite]

I've tried again from 5 sites, and none of them have completed the download.

I've tried http://ftp.ale.org, ftp.mirrors.net.ar<http://ftp.mirrors.net.ar>, 
ftp.ne.uu.net <http://ftp.ne.uu.net>,
www.mirrorservice.org<http://www.mirrorservice.org>,
and sunsite.utk.edu <http://sunsite.utk.edu>. On my last attempt I tried 
just about every US mirror.

I'm downloading from an XP machine, as that's the only one I have which has 
a working CD burner. I've tried IE6 and Firefox.

>From the ale site the progress bar reported 695MB of 695 MB, but the 
progress stopped there and the download ultimately timed out.

Has anyone here successfully downloaded Disc 1? Is there a trick which I'm 
missing?

Thanks,

Josh
