  26. The DNS is fine.  The problem is the fact that going through a web
  27. browser interface forces repeated connections, and with variable
  28. network loads, you may or may not reconnect within the timeout
  29. period.  A solution is to simply keep hammering on the ftp link,
  30. and hopefully, eventually, the network will clear and allow download
  31. of that package.
  32.  
  33. A friendlier solution, in my opinion, is to allow straight ftp access,
  34. so the whole job can be done with one simple connection process.
  35.
