Problems downloading AIX 5.1 ML8

[columb]

I've received the e-mail notifying me of the release of AIX 5.1L ML8 so I've logged in to The IBM download site ready to apply it to my test server.

I've tried using IE, I've tried using Mozilla, I've tried using raw FTP to ftp.software.ibm.com. I can see the file but I can't download it. The connection just hangs.

Is it me or is it IBM? Any ideas?

I clicked the download site link (IE on win2k over wireless to a DSL router with a half meg - 500kbits per sec - connection) and then the package link, a little while ago, and it seems to be downloading OK at about 25kBytes/sec. It has downloaded 48Mbytes of 147 Mbytes so far and it seems to be stable.
I couldn't find the update on the ftp site.
The download will be a bit slow because of the number of people connecting and they throttle the bandwidth because of the number of users but it seems to work OK for me, and I'm in the UK.
Looks like you need to look at your web link / connection to the net, rather than the IBM site.
