I posted recently that I could install with FTP really well after I made 
my own ftp site.

Today I had the normal problems using ftp - it would stall on bin.ab etc...

But this was because I WAS USING A NEW CLASS C!

Once I used an IP within the SAME class C as the ftp site - I could ftp 
install in a snap!

How this relates - i dont know.  All I know is that frmo a different 
class C I spent HOURS not getting anywhere.  From within the same class 
C, no problem.
