I have also had problems last week pulling from your mirror. I'm using XP SP3 with FireFox 3. It's like the connection get's reset, it will just hang after maybe 5-15 megs. I have been using the pause button on FireFox's new download manager in ver 3, then resuming, and it will pick right back up.
Tonight, Aug18, I'm downloading the new show and it's running fine so far. I saw this thread and thought I would try from a Dos ftp connection instead, in case it was something with my browser interface, but couldn't log into your server. Wasn't trying to hack you, just checking it out

My download tonight was from about 10:10pm to about 10:15pm PST. Just finished no problems. If you changed something, it's working good now.
Thanks for helping out with the FTP
