Trouble downloading Mapnik

I have been trying to download the Windows version of Mapnik 0.6.0 yesterday but it keeps timing out.  I am currently using Wget with unlimited retries and it has been running for the better part of 12 hours.  The file is only 17Mb as far as I can tell so I am not sure why it is having so much trouble.  Does anyone know if this is normal, if it will be fixed or if there is an alternate download site?  I am not having any trouble with downloads from anywhere else so I am certain it is not on my end.

 

I am really interested in looking at this application as I have heard some great things about it.

 

Thanks in advance,

Gerry

I finally got Mapnik to download.  Thanks very much to Dane for the
alternate download location. http://media.mapnik.org  I have been working
with Quantumnik since yesterday morning and I am very impressed...

Great Gerry,

Thanks for the follow-through, I'm glad you got things working.

As far as the berlios download, were you trying from this page?

http://prdownload.berlios.de/mapnik/mapnik-0.6.0-win32-py25.zip

The above works for me, but it would be great if you would post that  
alternate link on the trac wiki.

Dane,

Yes that was the original link I was trying to download from.  It just kept
timing out.  But the alternate you gave me worked like a charm.  I will post
it for sure...

Cheers

Dane,

I just updated the Quantumnik Wiki with a Downloading Mapnik section.  Have
a look and tell me if you approve.

Oh by the way....LOVE QUANTUMNIK...perhaps the biggest advance in open
source GIS in a while.  I did a little survey on LinkedIn a while back about
who uses OSGeo and I got a lot of comments about the poor CARTOGRAPHIC
performance of OS Desktop GIS...  I think this goes a long way toward
bridging the gap.

Cheers
Gerry
