[tlug] Cant Read TLUG Digest Messages

[nmacphee <yeehi@example.com>]

In, for example, TLUG Digest 2002 v111, there were several posts listed which 
were not visible in the digested e mail I received. 

1
For example I could see that Josh wrote several replies to a topic in which I 
was interested, (internet speed connection) but I couldn't see those in the 
digest.

Some replies to the topic I could see listed with the others and I could find 
their appearance in the digest below, but I needed to open them to read them. 
Usually when I click on such a TLUG article it doesnt prompt me " Open 
with...", it just opens. Sometimes it prompts me and I have worked out that I 
can open and read it with open office write. But for example Charles Mullers 
reply to the Internet speed question I cant read or open even with open 
office.

On the plus side the contents of the digest does seem to have developed a more 
eye friendly format.

My main point! (Yippee!)

I am also trying to download the much coveted redhat 8.0, I am using an ntt 
b-flets 100mbps connection ( ahem!) and I am having no joy. It seems to me 
like there are just too many people trying to get on that server, coz I cant 
get beyond downloading about 10 MB and the downfeed hangs.  I am using 
download acceerator plus and try hopping between mirror sites in asia/aus. It 
looks the same. 

The 2 strange things are:
1 I downloaded all the 8.0 iso images v quickly on saturday from a v good 
connection, but they wont let me burn an iso image from there and I dont know 
how to ftp (no need to try and explain it to me. It is too difficult.)
2 I have a similar problem getting an iso image from lycoris and those servers 
are not overloaded...
