It looks like it will take about 13 hours to download. I'm afraid I would soak up your outgoing bandwidth. If I don't hear from you in an hour or so, I'll kill it.
I'm hosting this on a publicly available server, and sometimes, download speeds are throttled. But 13 hours seems excessive to me. I'm using my own repo to install various client machines in geographically distinct places (France and Austria), and the average speed is about 40 kbps (it can be much more, though). As for "sucking the bandwidth", don't bother, it's not "my" server, it's public FTP and not my machine. Go ahead.
As I mentioned, things sped up considerably. I got 3 installed, after removing the 2 that was on there (Karan, the 1.* from original install is still there so I s/b OK when the new release comes out), got the plugins done (esp. Java and its console for an app that is fairly importatnt to me - means I don't have to do Winblows) and looks pretty good.
It picked up my old user config stuff OK and worked well.
Only observed problem seem to be with a screen layout on a certain website. Some "tabs" it presents are partially hidden and no amount of <CTL>+<-|+> will make them visible enough to read completely. I'll have to browse in settings a bit and see if there is something there that might cure that problem.
But it'll do what I can use it for.
I've got to say thanks.
I'll post more to this thread if I see any other adverse behavior.
Cable system acting up today - wasted some hour or so on the horn with tech support.
Cheers,
