Hello all,

	I have been attempting to install 2.1.7 onto a brand new PPro 200Mhz, across
the network via ftp. Usually this process is pretty darn fast, but transfers have 
creeping along at unacceptable speeds - i.e. I might as well have tried the
install from home on my 28.8 modem! Has anybody else experienced this
problem? And if so, what is the cure for FreeBSD?
