blink. 6 hours?

ftp [~ftp/pub/linux-redhat]# du -s redhat-3.0.3
805978  redhat-3.0.3

that's *ahem* pretty impressive. i recently needed to get a 170M file
from the us and i got 3.6K/sec.  At that rate, the above would have taken
over 55 hours, so i'm not sure how `6' was obtainable.

i think the redhat mirror might be close to complete now btw.
