I started the download noon my time, so it was early morning your time, very early like 6 am. Thats probably when the load is lowest over in the US because most use the broadband anyway. I then grabbed 8 segments in GetRight and my ISDN was doing a nice 7.5 KB/s total. Although once a segment finished it would never reconnect to a mirror. So i guess I WAS lucky, but keep trying, i kept clicking on different mirrors all the time, for ages...
Peace man!
