I just started to pull:

<a  rel="nofollow" href="ftp://ftp.ale.org/mirrors/suse/i386/9.3/iso/SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso";>ftp://ftp.ale.org/mirrors/suse/i386/9.3/iso/SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso</a>
   and
<a  rel="nofollow" href="ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/suse/suse/i386/9.3/iso/SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso";>ftp://ftp-linux.cc.gatech.edu/pub/suse/suse/i386/9.3/iso/SUSE-9.3-Prof-i386-CD1.iso</a>

I ran the above one at a time, so I should not been having a bandwidth
issue on my end.

Historically I found ALE faster.

At 9:35 this morning, I'm getting:
GaTech  ~400KB/sec    ~30 Min. total
ALE       ~65KB/sec     ~3 Hr.  Total

I've cancelled my downloads.

&gt; I've been using the ale server for my 9.3 updates and it is always the
&gt; fastest of the suse defined US servers.  I just used it today and
&gt; yesterday for patches.  Actually, only the first update has real size to
&gt; it, and those are still delta rpms.  Suse switched to delta rpms in 9.x
&gt; series to save bandwidth.  I haven't setup a local source mirror for
&gt; patching but it is possible to do that by having one server pull the
&gt; patches and save them.  Then, you'd point your other local machines to
&gt; that machines repository of patches with ftp, nfs, or http, take your
&gt; pick.  So only during the month or so after a new version comes out will
&gt; the load be extra heavy.  I've not noticed any slowdown from ale.org at
&gt; all, even for remote installs in the last month.
&gt; 
&gt; I appreciate the ale server being available like this.  In the past
&gt; there were only a few erratic US servers and the only truly reliable one
&gt; was the suse.de server.  It was always overloaded and very slow.  Now US
&gt; installs default to only US servers and there are several around the
&gt; country that are reliable.  Just my thanks and two cents on the issue,

&gt; &gt;Recently it has seemed to me that the ALE FTP server is running slower
&gt; &gt;than before.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Today I finally got around to upgrading a couple of my machines to SUSE 9.3
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I was very surprised to the the ALE FTP server shown as one of the 5
&gt; &gt;main US update sites.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;Considering the size of SuSE 9.3s online update and number of 9.3
&gt; &gt;users, could the load be slowing down data transfers?
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;If that is the case, should we consider trying to get Novell to take
&gt; &gt;ALE FTP off the list, or at least make it a secondary site.
