I did not have problems downloading YD4 since the alpha versions.
But, There is not too much bandwidth dedicated to ydl.net (I think 2MBit 
or so ... And more and more people with an enhanced account are trying to 
download it... when there are 10 simultanious downloads you wont get more 
than 200KBit/second (around 20KByte/s) ...

Did not have problems on my G4 QuickSilver 867MHz ... On RC1 there where 
problems with graphical install, that is fixed ...

YDL4 also runs smooth on my #2 Apple Network Server ...

The 2.6.8 kernel is really great ...
Overall YDL4 is the best PPC release ever !
