It would be great if they had a .torrent or some faster servers, downloads from haskell.org always go at a snail's pace for me.


No kidding. I'm at 5.1 kb/s. This is exactly the [legal] sort of thing that torrents were designed for. Once my download is complete (~8 hours from now), I'll make a torrent of it.


We need bigger tubes for all this Haskell!


I downloaded the Mac .dmg and created a torrent for it. You can download at http://commentout.net/media/haskell-platform-2010.1.0.0-i386...


Yep, 3 KB/sec for a 50 megabyte file is unacceptable. Honestly, have they heard of mirrors or torrents?


Yeah, I'm getting 6 kb/s on the 138mb OS X platform DMG. Fun.
