Are you a newbie to life as well?
Doesn't matter the rationalization, if you could fid a good soul on hotline who would be willing to share with you...
godd luck
otherwise the major greed factor is there and most servers either want you to upload versions of software which doesn't exist, wait in some enormous queue and get kicked, or anyway disconnected when you get to the front of the line, or they want you to pay 5$ to paypal for the privelige of using their slow connection.
All of these are in varying shades of legality with the last example being the worst. Especially since those 5$ servers are <b>always</b> pay for entry.
When you want to do something that is questionable ...be discreet.
you should have to find your own way through this. impatiently or otherwise...
<b>
Anyway, if anybody actually knew where a good server was located, would they telll?

Hotline has been ruined by opportunists and leeches. one begets the other.
in both directions.

In the meantime, if you do some simple calculation you can realize that Apple <b>will not make any money</b> on the CD distribution.
a couple of office girls to take the orders, the actual shipping costs, and the cost of the CD. add up to just about enough profit to pay for the electricity and telephone charges they will consume in the process.
<b>Next time, </b>let's propose to Apple to get 100's of volunteer servers to mirror all over the world for free. Then people will complain they have not enough bandwidth, or time, or CDR, or knowhow, and <b>beg</b> to have someway that they can just pay someone to deliver it, to them.
While you are thinking about that better get down on your knees and thank GOD that Apple doesn't do business like microsoft (who is "planning to try" to extract a $30/month "subscription" for XP and Office software) who just sits around shrugging their shoulders wondering why more people won't patch their ever-so-popular holely server software to get rid of the insidious worms
