I agree completely.  Why don't you put all of the ADSM client and
server updates on the IBM FixDist FTP servers, which are distributed
and have excellent bandwidths ?

I don't understand that such a strategic product as ADSM is serviced by
such an underpowered FTP server, when IBM has the FixDist servers.
Seems like IBM needs to get it's act together, IMHO.
