I have a Linksys by Cisco "business class" router that, for some reason or another, refuses to use FTP. So, cellular modem to the rescue, right? Well, at 60k/sec, the DVD image was looking like it'd take 6 hours to download. Thankfully, I just happened to search for FreeBSD torrents and found the 7.1 torrent linked from your site. This torrent should be directly linked from your "Getting FreeBSD" page, as a column to the right of "ISO", perhaps "ISO Torrent". I'm transferring at 1.1MB/sec, and needless to say, it'll be here in just a bit less than 6 hours. Thanks for reading, thanks for the (hopefully) killer OS. I'm hoping that FreeBSD will be the foundation upon which we'll have a world-class web site running. Thanks, Daniel Mooney daniel@newdigs.com
