I don't know if I would agree with that...it would've taken me about 1/2 
hour to download the ISO from the newsgroups, but it took me well over 5 
hours to download it from your website.  Don't know exactly how long as 
I started it sometime after 6PM and went to bed at 11:30 before it was 
finished.

Pulling from a website is good if you can afford to have the bandwidth 
available.  But that costs money and when your doing something great, 
like giving this away for free, that's not a viable option.
