Please try one of the numerous mirrors, such as http://www.fr.kernel.org/
And if you are only seeking packages, you may connect to the ftp directly: ftp://ftp.fr.kernel.org (please change [fr] to your country code)

| Oh, wow, didn't know they had mirrors, I'll try the FTP seeing as how browsing through all that with links isn't fun. |

As a guess, K & P are probably the initials for Mr Morton's middle names.
Just a guess mind. |

| Yeah I realize that, but this was the longest kernel update I ever had, hell by the time I pulled up the config menu I just dropped the thing, maybe after a day or two I'll be sane enough to move on. |
