Hello,

A guick question about "etiquette"....  is it considered 'bad form' to use a
download accelerator to grab an .iso or straight distro??    I  get speeds
of  high 100's to 200K plus on Windows sites ....   I know that these
programs make multiple connections to a server but I don't know the
technology behind them ....  are these "virtual" connections or the
eqivalent of seperate logins  ....   If using them precludes others from
logging in it is simply "rude"  .....    Would appreciate knowing as the
speed inclrease is substantial....
