Have been trying to download it, since Wednesday evening, have now just gotten 
phpbb-2.0.17, current internet connectivity is barely useable, cannot even 
load my ISP's home page, and with a bit of persistance, I can collet e-mail, 
binkd works better, but transfer speeds of 0.092KB/s are not uncomman, am on 
my third report ticket with the local telco "Telkom" or as some
would have it, 
Telskum, or Hellkom, in as many days. Mantaining a 10-15 minute connect is 
almost impossible. Would like to be able to get php, mysql to support it, but 
so far that is mission impossible. I am just currently wasting a great deal of 
money trying.
