Suck, don't it? We came to the conclusion that it could be a couple of items: * bad hardware on my end * bad firewall * something else? Well, I was talking to a friend who JUST installed Linux on the previous version of my laptop (2000 model instead of 2001). He said he downloaded the Java JDK about 20 times yesterday, and it was corrupted all but the last time. How would I go about testing things out and figuring out which is the bad component? Thanks Kevin Breit
