Ubuntu 6.1 servers slow?

[shaunak]

I mm downloading the iso of kubuntu EE but the maximum download speed imm able to get is 20KBps [that too from a french server.]
Where as for Ubuntu DD imm getting a speed of 28Kbps
Is there any alternative mirror [unlisted] i can use?

Imm on a 256Kbps line.

Use Bit Torrent or any of its client, because torrents are gen. more fast than the mirrors. snipped

Have spent 6hrs so far. The max speed i was able to extract was 23Kbps. Will finishing downloading in a couple of hours. Maybe the EEft mirrors are slow or overloaded.

[hellknight]

they may be overloaded because Ubuntu 6.10 is freshly launched. But 23kbps is the speed on mirror or on torrent?

On some french mirror.

@Chester, You downloaded Kubuntu 6.10 using a dialup? 40 hours flat??
Better get yourself a broadband connection (Airtel preferably). 40 hours using a phone line is very expensive!!!

That's really sad. Hopefully your city gets Airtel broadband in the near future.
Yes, broadband is not available everywhere in India.
