[QUOTE="Malchior, post: 1337332, member: 16415"] Luke keeps telling us how wonderful RPM is, and the RPM website seems to suggest the same, but there is one problem... I can't download it! I'm running a 2.6GHz/256MB PC on a cable modem (in Canada) and whenever I try to download it from the RPM site I average transfer speeds in the hundreds of _bytes_ or low KBs. It suggests it will take 5 hours, and keeps timing out after DLing the first few hundred KB! I've tried numerous times, on multiple computers, always with the same problem. Is anyone else experiencing this difficulty now, or is it just me (and the three computers I tried it on). Someone on the RPM Yahoo group suggested it might because of a virus on the weekend affecting internet traffic, but I don't buy that. I have no trouble DLing large files from other sites (DLed the OpenOffice suite @ 65MB). I emailed Luke to ask if there was a mirror site to DL his prog, or if there would be, and he said no. Searches of Google turn up only his site as a host. Is there a problem with the Cyberstreet servers? Is it possible to find this program (in it's latest release) anywhere else? Otherwise, I will have to go with a competing program simply because I can't get the one that is supposed to be the "best". [/QUOTE]
