I'd host the image myself on Jablet except that uploading 130MB would seem fishy to the (extremely paranoid) IT department here at work.

But that doesn't mean I won't try anyways.

And Steve, 3rd and 4th download attempts of the firmware from links posted in this thread: 4m01, 2m48s.

We pretty much have God's internet pipe here at work... just don't have apache installed on my Jablet box though and I'd probably be killed for upping a 130MB file.
Jay, I'll try to get it up to jablet.

The links in the thread? Do you mean Reggie's official links of the mirrors people have been putting up themselves?

I've been referring to the mirrors.

Duh. I've been talking about the official download links. What with nobody having uploaded the N810 bin anywhere fast yet.

Skype installs easily, attempting to sign in to see if it kills the call

Still won't give me the fingerboard easily by pressing on the screen. I miss OS2007 in this regard

Ok, so obviously the maemo setup is still in its infancy...but, there is no reason for their official download site to be running at molasses speed. They could farm out a lot of their bandwidth to the amazon S3 cloud and not take any kind of performance hit.

The guys over at panic did that when they released Coda (http://www.cabel.name/2007/04/coda-one-week-later.html) and how much did they lose in cash for all this bandwidth?

So, all told, users downloaded 643 GB worth of Coda in the last seven days. The total bill? $128. Mellow.

The updates seem to be geared to making more apps/UI finger friendly. The article has been updated:

The only problem with that is that the Maemo team has to convince upper management that they need more bandwidth or to use something like S3... and neither of which would be very easy to do.

That's a good start. It seems a bit weird that you use your finger to browse menus and launch apps but most of the time you then have to use the stylus anyway.

Well, crap... I can't remember my dreamhost login and the panel refuses to send password to email. Lovely. No image upload until I get past that...
