I was able to get through to ftp.apple.com around 4:30am eastern time...
I was able to maintain a 1.6K/sec transfer speed... but I lost the
network connection while on the 3rd image.  Luckily I was able to get
back on quickly and I was able to download the other 800K images, which
worked perfectly.

Mark Johnson, Chuq, and the rest of Apple:  Thank you VERY much for providing
these on ftp.apple.com... and I especially like the ftp-limiting software.
I noticed that the limiting software was installed pretty late last night,
so I assume Mark must have pulled an all-nighter installing it.  It
must really be tough having to "support" ftp.apple.com in your off-hours,
and I appreciate it!

up all night...
