Yeah, I'd try gftp or one of the other ftp apps called from a terminal in the directory you want the download in. For example: gftp ftp.uwsg.indiana.edu/linux/Mandrake/iso starts the download but the message from the server is that there are too many anonymous users for the transaction to complete at this time. Try a different server. Such as one of the European ones where people are likely asleep at the moment. <g> Or if you already have an old set of ISOs from a previous version rename them to reflect the new release name and use rsync in a terminal to "download the differences" which is the method I generally use. Or just use rsync to download them instead of an ftp front end app. If you do have the ISOs and have renamed them add --delete before the --progress flag. Example: [EMAIL PROTECTED] nanook]$rsync -avrt --progress ftp.uninett.no::Mandrake/Mandrake/iso/ /downloads/torrent/ All spaces are single. Of course change the source mirror and destination directory to suit you, but I know for a fact the download is fairly fast from the server in the example. Reading the rsync man page or rsync --help wouldn't hurt either.
