Did he? I've turned down 2 jobs offers because I decided to only use slackware and nothing else. I have been trying for 2 weeks to get slackware working and each and every step is like gaining ground in WW1. I have stood up for days, I am dedicated. I will never surrender. Now I'm trying to install software using slackpkg but it is not working. ProtonVPN isn't working and idk why, ugh and now live slack isn't good supposedly and should be only used for like research so I need to yet again download sw64currentiso but it's down. I love slackware because it's never ending. It'd a war until the end! Eveet day a new error message! Hoporaaaaa!!!

For what it's worth, few tips:
- You must specify the mirror you are using
- Took in consideration that mirrors are mainly provided *graciously*
- More bandwidth = more $$$
- 6.5Mb/s is clearly not so bad according to my 2 previous point ;-)
