But I did notice, as soon as I started, my disk space was reduced

3.49 and 4.26 GB in size. If I try to mount one of the iso's Disk
Utility says the same thing yours did, that no mountable filesystem
was found.
No, ncftp does it properly, file size is only what has been
delivered, plus resume works great. I got it via ftp since
bittorrent was so bad, from the site in .se.
I'm not sure what's up with the .iso (should be ISO9660, Laurent, but
I think there are a couple flavors) but I have the divx version
downloaded now.
Now all I have to do is figure out how to move the divx to a format
quicktime can handle, or to a format that Toast can make a DVD from.
Info I have from a web forum is thus:
-----
Subject: Re: Divx to Quicktime
Try ffmpegX. If that doesn't work, there used to be an app called
divxTool, that allowed you to change the fourcc of the movie to make
it compatible with QT. There was also DivX Validator, which could
convert to DivX QT movies. And there is still DivX Doctor from 3ivx,
which rewrites DivX AVIs to DivX MOVs, essentially the same thing. If
all of that doesn't work, I would then try the ffmpeg codec. If you
don't have any luck, or can't find some of these tools, email me.

I tried the ffmpeg thing, it may or may not have been working, I
needed the laptop for something else so stopped it early and haven't
had time to get back to it.
I have the .mov version but since both divx and .iso exist and would
be such higher quality I really want to get a DVD made from one of
those sources.
If someone has inpu on the divx conversion please do share. I am not
sure when this weekend I will work on that again.
