I'm not sure I understood about the wget problem - would you mind clarifying it, please? Have you tried: 1. rsync from an rsync mirror? 2. Resume the download with ftp but then polish the file with rsync from an rsync mirror to correct any difficulties? 3. try creating a file with dd that is over 1 GB so you know that you can locally. I'm on dialup and can't tie up the phone long enough for CD images (a few days) so end up with many breaks. I use wget with either ftp or http and often have an MD5 failure. For this reason, I have switched to straight rsync whenever possible. Once, when there was no rsync server for the image I was getting, I downloaded three defective images and used that gnu tool (I forget the name of the package) that used a best-two-out-of-three approach for each block to create the correct file. Given the error detection at each layer (modem, ppp, IP, ftp), I don't understand why I end up with a corrupted file, but I do.

Make Yahoo your home page. http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs---BeginMessage--- i'll leave this as a direct reply since that is how it came to me :) 24% of 4.4Gb is pretty close to 1Gb. Are you sure there's not something preventing you creating files over 1GB (e.g. ulimit). Or could your ISP be blocking large downloads? fair question but i doubt it as i have previously downloaded fedora core 8, openSUSE 10.3, and Sabayon 4.3 all of which were DVD images with no problem I'm not sure I understood about the wget problem - would you mind clarifying it, please? sure, wget i would get up and wonder off and when i come back my hard drive would be full but if i download them though my browser (regardless of which one) i find myself more likely to burn them off as they are completed (who has ever heard of 20+ cd-iso files dowloading so that they all were complete at the same time?) jwlockhart Registered Linux User #458799 Registered Kubuntu User #19678 this user is penguin powered Never miss a thing.

Maybe you could use bittorrent? that would be possible, but many isp now make it hard to download large torrent files (in a supposed attempt to stop movie piracy) so torrent is out, and i admit i did not check all the mirrors, though stopping at the same spot is certianly odd jwlockhart Registered Linux User #458799 Registered Kubuntu User #19678 this user is penguin powered Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
