linuxiso (http://www.linuxiso.org) great site with hundreads of mirrors for the top distro's

god knows why you are looking on kazaa for it, it is open source as in all the code is freely available.

I too am looking for an ISO image of mandrake linux 9.1. I know you can download it here http://www.mandrakelinux.com/en/ftp.php3 but sometimes k-lite seems to be much faster.

Use a mandrake mirror site in a very far country. That way you know a lot of people wont be downloading from it and the bandwidth will be much better,

some of the mirrors are very fast i could not see how kazaa can compete.

especially since there is no error checking in kazaa you are bound to get corrupt files and that is very bad with an operating system.

If that place is slow i have a link to "Fast Downloads," witch is a warez site so you have to PM if you want it.

FreshDownload (http://www.freshdevices.com) is one of them.

i was using a download accelerator and nearly all the mirrors except one or two on madrakelinux.com were asking for a login and password. I couldnt find any info on that at all. thanks for the mirrors
