I got mine there too, and they seemed to be going slow at first, but I left both downloads on overnight and it was done in the morning, 7 hours later.

i have slack 9 but when i install it for somereason i cant get it to install a bootloader so it doesbnt load, so i figured id just DL 9.1 and hope that one works

You can always fix the boot loader if you:

boot up with the slackware install cd.

instead of going to setup mount the root partiton from the HD to a directory (in this case /mnt/hd)

You may have to mount the proc directory.

mount -t proc proc /mnt/hd/proc

chroot /mnt/hd

then once your there then run the boot loader stuff.

I don't remember if it is lilo or grub for slackware, I'll assume it's lilo.

Edit the /etc/lilo.conf to make sure it's correct.

Then run lilo
"lilo"

And that will set it up.

Slackware 9.0 has lilo as the bootloader. Drag's suggestion is worth a try.
