Are RedHat's servers always this swamped???

It's been more than a week since RH8.0 was released.  I made 5 or 6 attempts
to download, so far the farthest I got was 32MB of the first file before the
connection dropped, the best speed was 3.8 kB/s.  This over a Cox cable
modem connection that tests at 187 kB/s.

Is it just a matter of waiting till the release 8.0 rush is over, or is it
always like this?

Mike
