[Elecraft] Slow Web Site

I'm afraid qsl.net has become a dead loss. I shall probably close my own 
qsl.net site, as it's a waste of time at the moment. It's entirely the 
fault of hams themselves, who will spend thousands of bucks on equipment 
but expect everything on the internet to be free. I coughed up a donation 
when asked to a couple of months back, but according to an email Al (the 
owner of qsl.net) sent out, the vast majority didn't, despite the fact that 
they could even win a transceiver. Decent servers and connectivity don't 
grow on trees, they cost money. But nobody wants to pay for them, it seems.

Rant over.

G'day,

I've been trying to download the construction manual for the EA3BLQ K2
digital interface.  The site:

http://www.qsl.net/ea3blq/download_ang.htm

Is pathetically slow, <1000 bytes/sec and for a 2.4Mbyte download that is
not an option.  Anyone know another source?

Regards,

Mike VP8NO
