I think what your problem could be is your download program. From my experiences browser download programs are not the most reliable, as they seem to download as it comes, whereas download managers seem to carefully calculate the filesize, divide it up and download in parts.
As much as I am against it, I suggest using either Gozilla or Download Accelerator to do the dirty work for you. YOu can always uninstall either when you have finished obtaining your isos. Yes it is a bugger downloading them each time, I know, but I think one more time should solve the problem, else maybe someone in your region may send you a couple of CD's via the post. On the other hand, I haven't downloaded any of the beta's ass my computer is running just fine at the moment under 8.2, so I'm just taking for granted that the iso's on the ftp servers are good. As I suggested, download for instance Download Accelerator, try download the official iso's from the official mandrake site, and it'll look for exact coppies on other servers too. This should hopefully elliminate the risk of some server having a faulty iso, or your browser just messing the whole thing up. I hope this helps Ralph PS: Then check the md5sums .. 'till now I haven't had any problem with this system, except I was using ProzGUI (Linux) to do it for me... and it's pretty much like Download Accelerator, except for the spyware and adware :-) On Thu, 29 Aug 2002 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Oh well..
