Downloaded ISOs burned and installed.
9.1 kicks butt!!!
As usual, slack is for those who like doing things "the hard way"
(PC magazine 1998)
X configuration is a pain in the ass, but once everything is in place and working, Slack 's speed and power more than make up for the hassle

So maybe you are seeing these high peaks when Comcast can deliver a series of IP packets that are stored in their caches instead of being delivered from their customer's machines.
Sound logical .., that peak over 1000kB/s durated only a few seconds n reduce fast to about some tens of kB/s still very fast compared to mine about 12/13 kB/s. But the rate is more stabile than downloading from conventional mirror sites n maybe 3 hours faster on downloading a CD. I think it could be faster when more from downloader from this geographical site r participated at the sametime, I was seeing only temporal an IP with the same first 3 nurmber during downloading ..
