We are having problems with the mirror at ftp.cac.psu.edu.  The connection
between PSU and IBM has a bottle neck that is slowing the transfer down.
Here is a traceroute:

traceroute index.storsys.ibm.com

I tried the traceroute about 6:30 am EDT, and similar problems.  It looks
like a bottle neck is at enss258.t3.ans.net and it is taking a long time
to get the data through.
