Ryan, I am glad to hear there is a reason for it. I am still awaiting a server = to finish building, it has been some 25 minutes, looks like 2 min = timeouts between files. :) I will terminate this server instance and start over. I will report back = here as soon as I can see it is faster. BTW, are you/others on an IRC/Freenode to let you know of such issues = more directly?
