Re: The Ubuntu Linux Dial-Up Download Challenge!

Hats off to your triumph, Tarbolde. :-)
Your Dial-up connection obviously worked better than mine; it'd "conk out" at business hours. Its speed would run so slow, the servers assumed their was no internet connection at all.

Whew... got so deep in the zone that I forgot to report that the original terms of the challenge have been met.
Ubuntu wasn't too bad to download; it dropped a few times and corrupted twice.
Bulletproof.
The JULinux download isn't going as easily, I'll admit.
It corrupted an unusual amount of times, prompting me to take the unprecedented step
of switching servers mid-download (from mindblowingidea over to linuxfreedom).
But for today, honor (and Linux) has been served. Maybe they'll think twice before discounting the tenacity of dial-up users again.
The last word should go to the real champ of this contest: my trusty Win Modem.
