When I was downloading the Oxygen ISO at 90% the final came out...so I could not resume for some reason.A friend of mine has dsl and so he downloaded it for me and put it on a personal ftp server. I was able to resume and finish. I installed it so I could test it while I confirmed the new ISO was indeed the final version release. This was confirmed. So I started downloading the latest ISO from the 2 cows site. everything was fine .. until.. at 90% the ftp server disconnected and wouldn't let me reconnect. So I keep trying to connect.I finally do reconnect. Low and behold there is a new ISO file in the folder. Mandrake 6.1.1 ISO. before I realized ... since I was getting use to resuming and resuming. I selected the mandrake6.1.1 file. I chose resume ... Well normally if it was the WRONG file I was resuming to it would tell you. well it didn't so for about 30 secs I resumed the 6.1.1 file to the 7.0 file. What I am asking is this. My logic says the download is now corrupted. My stubborness says... finish the download anyway. Is logic correct? Hmm i didn't think tucows was on a round robin, but thats the only way i can explain that.. And yes your iso is trash unless you've been useing rsync. Take Care all Chris PS anybody here use the g400 max with Mandrake 7.0? Yup, blazeing fast :) -- MandrakeSoft http://www.mandrakesoft.com/ --Axalon

Finish the download, but using rsync. rsync will synchronise your local file to the remote one without having to re-download anything, QED. It patches as necessary on the fly. rsync is everything that FTP always should have been. -- Regards, Ron. [AU] - sent by Linux.
