I tend to logon to fix central, order the cumulative package (eitherslow.
the full cumulative package and/or the hiper PTF's) for the version
and release I need. I then tell fix central to send the order to the
IBM's FTP server.
In about an hour you will get a series of e-mails stating the the
order is ready for pickup.
I directly download then to the IBMi, The IBMi then saves the .bin
files to a save file and pushes them automatically to all the IBMi
partitions that need the fixes.
Works great and I can PTF my entire environment in about two days
(with off hours IPL's) The IPL's are automated as well.

Using FileZilla to ftp from my PC to the IBM i..
Man. It took almost 4 hours to download the 35gb from IBM to my PC
with FileZilla. I tried direct to the IBM i via FileZilla and it
would have taken 3 times that long. Had no idea Fiz Central was that

I would highly suggest you use a binary FTP to push them across.
Filezilla FTP client works great to do it with.
I concur on that. I've had multi-gigabyte Win copy/pastes fail at 99%.
FTP is much more reliable. Filezilla supports restart too.
