No, I've got the same problem - the helix servers reset the connection and the transfer rate is 7Kb/s tops (compared to 80Kb/s previously). I suspect this is a problem with their servers being overloaded after announcing R2 with GNOME 1.2. Enough to say that I've been trying to download 30Mb for the last 18 hours... marek
