That's why you akamize them. :) Just append the akamai stuff in front of the URL you want to cache: http://a516.g.akamai.net/7/516/1/f15ee829e2faf2/www.slackware.com/something/ morestuff/whatever.iso Of course, I don't think akamai would be too happy if they found out. Slow downloads on stuff that gets posted on slashdot always goes faster once you post a URL like the above to the comments section as a mirror. Come back an hour later, and it's all spiffy and fast. :) > -----Original Message----- > From: Bill Layer [mailto:blayer at qwest.net] > Sent: Tuesday, May 22, 2001 10:17 AM > To: tclug-list at mn-linux.org > Subject: Re: [TCLUG] Slackware 7.2 .iso images available > > > On Tue, 22 May 2001 09:51:32 -0500 > "Ben Lutgens" <blutgens at sistina.com> wrote: > > > On Tue, May 22, 2001 at 08:06:01AM -0500, Thomas T.
