Meanwhile I am at 537 MB, so I figure I have at least another day to go.
Plus, my system is becoming more unstable. Most recently it locked up while displaying the WoW terms of service. I owe an apology to Ruvanal and the others who have tried to play with me in the last two weeks.
Not sure what the problem is, but I suspect the motherboard (SuperMicro P3T-DE6). I can make the system lock up reliably by runing four instances of a little OpenGL program I wrote and doing some disc activity.
I have swapped out three different video cards, two hard drives, two sets of SCSI cables, and two different operating systems (2000 and XP). I have rearranged the memory and used the DIMM's in different pairs. I have run Microsoft's WinDiag memory test exhaustively.
I am open to suggestions. Not much else to do during the download.
