Hey,

I just installed OpenPogo on my DockStar and was installing some apps using ipkg via SSH. However, the downloads to install packages are extremely slow. For example, a 500KB or so file (ncurses_5.7-1_arm.ipk) took about 20 minutes to download, and a 7.2MB file (perl_5.10.0-6_arm.ipk) has been going for about an hour, and if it's at the same speed as ncurses still isn't close to done. I wanted to know if this behavior is normal, because I downloaded the same 7.2MB file on my computer from the repo in a respectable 1 minute. So has anyone experienced the same/different speeds?

P.S. My ISP is At&t U-verse, 3.0 mbps

Thanks,
vinay427

I'm downloading onto a PNY 512MB flash drive. The ncurses download did finish, however downloads are still take far longer than on my computer.
