During the installation on Pentium 60 Machine...

I try to install over FTP (master site, and a few others).
FTP seems to be VERY slow (although, from Windows NT, I can
achieve ~50K/sec on the same machine). And once in while,
message appears on the DEBUG screen saying:

Stray IRQ 7
	or
Stray IRQ 15

Then, it says, that there are too many stray IRQs to log.
Can that be a reason for FTP being slow? I disabled devices,
which were going to be probed with IRQs 7 and 15 (lpt0, and
wdc1). 

To say how slow it is: I left it over night, and in the morning there
were only 26% of bin-distribution here (according to the installer
thermometer). Thanks for help!
