Same for some memory. It turned out in a system audit, when the team
assigned 16GB of memory to 4 machines, the audit program reported the
system as over provisioned. After some "looking into it" the team found out
it had actually 62GiB RAM. Since then they assign 4x15 and 2 left for the
OS.

Cool story

As you've discovered from the other responses, that size difference is
just a matter of the size units used.  What's important: Does uget
satisfy your definition of a "decent' download manager?  Does it do
what you need it to do?

Yeah. That was when a whole GNU/Linux did fit on a single CD.

I also miss the old times when one could buy a lollypop for 5 pfennig.
The only thing that eases nostalgy is my 4x3.5 MHz Xeon with 16 GiB RAM
and a little pile of BD burners on top of it.

That's probably due to the Indian numbering system[0] being used, which
groups digits above 9,999 in twos.

Have you verified that these files are corrupt using known checksums? As others
have pointed out in some replies, the discrepancies you are seeing are
consistent with comparing a MB (SI unit) with a MiB (base 2, e.g. 1KiB =
1024B)), which suggests you have downloaded them successfully after all.

Sure. It's a translation from ancient german "Verkaeufermeg", an expression
from the time when the disks reached gigabyte sizes and the disk sellers
began to count in SI units, which gave them 7.4 percent larger numbers.


Disks capacity was labelled with SI prefixes (not units, byte|octet are 
not SI units) before it reached gigabyte sizes. The smaller hard disk 
drive I still have is labelled 270 MB, and its capacity is 270,054,400 
bytes (CHS 959*11*50). My other under-GB hard disks are labelled similarly.



Up to then, only SI purists like physics teachers insisted that kilo is
1000 and not 1024.


Not only SI purists but also networking/telecom guys. 1 kbit/s has 
always been consistantly 1000 bits per second.



Blu-ray discs labels say "25 GB" but the media offer only 25025314816 bytes,
which shows that the thrifty merchants give us not more than 17 floppies
of programmer's rebate.


So you get what's advertised. What are you complaining about ?
Do you just miss the old time when 74' CD-Rs were labelled 650 MB but 
actually contained 650 MiB/680 MB ? I had some CD which were accurately 
labelled 680 MB.

That's simply the ambiguity between merchants' and physicists' MB and
programmers' MiB.
The image 2.png says "91.2 MB (9,11,79,280 bytes)". Ignoring the strange
commas in the byte number one can compute

  91179280 / 1024 / 1024 = 86.95533752441406

which matches the "87.0 MiB" shown in image 1.png.

So the only problem is in the commas.
The programmers of both tools were even so nice to properly mark their
numbers as "MB" and "MiB". One can still see lots of "MB" in other programs
which should actually be "MiB".


Have a nice day :)

I guess, it depends on what you mean by "decent."  Take a look at

I think I've posted before that I arrow up and down in my terminal,
too. It's not 100% reliable because the history kept in memory depends
on the order of how you shut down multiple terminal tabs AND windows.
The recently past history that is presented is specific only to each
logged in user's usage.

A while back I decided I also needed something beyond a text editor
file to keep snippets I simply then copied and pasted into a terminal
window and such(ly). I specifically went looking for "sticky notes".

Several different packages come up for that kind of search. I tried a
few then found xfce4-notes (xfce4-popup-notes) possibly already
installed in my xfce4 desktop environment. I use those A LOT on a
daily basis... :)

There are "clipit" type packages out there, too, that save recently
copied snippets from our "clipboards". I "use" it occasionally, but
the sticky notes dealy fits more in line with what I need..

You shouldn't need to memorise them. From your rant, you're obviously
going to remember "wget", so you just start each alias with "wget-"
and the rest of the name explains that alias's features, or which
site it's for, or whatever sort of memory jog you need:

Then consider to create one or more shell scripts for your various
use cases and to trigger them by desktop icons.
If this is not enough, consider to use some GUI builder kit and create
a graphical frontend to wget (or your scripts) that fulfills your wishes.

Whatever, problems with the correctness of wget's downloads should be
investigated independently of frontend programs or scripts.
Especially it would have to be tested whether other download facilities
on the same system yield better results.

That is the essential question. An example, rather than generalistions,

Not negative thoughts about shell, I'm just not comfortable. It's that I 
cannot memorise/recall so many codes/scripts all the time, I even run down 
track of remembering all the alias.

This is not with respect to wget in shell, where I agree that multiple control 
to heart content is available but was in reference to GUI frontend of wget i.e 
the download managers in linux. The control over the file being download is 
somewhat limited compared to over wget itself.

Download Manager

[Ashok Inder]

For past 7 years, Linux does not have a single descent Download Manager.
Its totally possible that none of you may have faced this issue ever but
its a somewhat major issue for me...

First with WGET, I'm not at all comfortable with cli, the other being
that even with effort when I try to use wget, the file most of the time
downloaded ends up a corrupt file. For eg: I remember back in 2010,
downloading a 5-6mb of a single file (mp3 to be precise), the wget ended
up downloading packet of total size with 11mb and obviously corrupt file
or yesterday downloading a office file of 90 mb were wget downloaded a
total of 105mb file and again a corrupt file. Downloading complex things
from internet via wget is not even my cup of tea. It so much difficult
at my level of technology understanding.

I had this issue in Ubuntu, Mint, Opensuse, Fedora and now on Debian as
well. I had used from mobile internet,  LAN to WiFi and issue remained
the same.

I even wonder why the hell I even face this problem. Given that most of
the web services I use in the background use wget somewhere. Even a
simple browsing on Windows system, the browser's first request is via
wget in the backend. The world runs on wget, my android runs wget
services for all downloading and uploading in the backend and infact I'm
confident that play store apps are updated via wget service only...then
why I face such a weird wget issue which is so successful elsewhere and
for all.

Most GUI download manager (which I call WGET frontend software's) while
eases my download hassle from cli, ends up with same set of problem as
wget. Majority of the time corrupt file are getting downloaded.  And its
not just corrupt download, I don't have much control over the file and
bandwidth that I'm downloading.

I ended up using Free Download Manager on windows to download most of my
file in the end.

Torrent is not an issue, it works even better than windows in Linux with
better security (encrypted and blocking bad ip range which is not that
easy to do in windows).

I'm a heavy downloader. I download a lot of file of miscellaneous
category and nature.

Browser download managers are bad, there resume option is the worst
thing were I have to end-up re-downloading the file and moreover it
blocks my ability to control bandwidth and for many other reason, I
totally dislike browser (with addon) download manager.

This is one area where I have totally failed with Linux.


A point to make, in previous days, Internet in India used to be quite
erratic behaved network, the speed was like a half AC wave cycle, rising
from 0 to X speed and then falling down and going back to 0. Windows and
its download manager used to easily work with such erratic internet, but
in linux it was not. Today its quite well managed internet service in

 Yes.  But, I think you might try being less terse (and consequently more

That link actually sends you a redirect.  Then, the redirect URL 
https://ezproxylogin1.ntu.edu.sg/restricted/login.asp?logup=falseurl=http://www.springerlink.com/content/23j63676550n0q45/fulltext.pdf

Add your username and password to the redirect URL like:
https://username:passw...@ezproxylogin1.ntu.edu.sg/restricted/login.asp?logup=falseurl=http://www.springerlink.com/content/23j63676550n0q45/fulltext.pdf
and give that URL to KGet,  hopefully that will get you the file.  AFAIK, 
KGet does not normally prompt for or store credentials, so you have to use 
the URL syntax.

Unfortunately, I won't be much help with troubleshooting past that point ad I 
don't have credentials for the NTU library.

 What exactly does a download manager do that Firefox and wget can't?

* Download a file in multiple, parallel chunks. [Axel can do this]
* Search for and use mirrors (there are various file search engines that
  can tell you File X is mirrored here, here and here and you can
  choose the closest/fastest).
* Handle Metalink files (so that a file can be downloaded from HTTP,
  FTP, Bittorrent or a mixture of any of these).

Typically, the main use is to allow resuming of downloads, but of
course, Wget can do that.

If they are using HTTP authentication, then put your username/password in the

If they are using HTML Forms + Cookies for authentication, just login to the

 No, it's definitely Mozilla related.
 
 Have you tried it with Konqeuror yet?
 
 Konqueror opens (visibly) my home directory for saving - that for the

I tried this: But I can't change the download directory by setting it
in the preferences, in the prefs.js file or using
about:config. Firefox continues to save in the last directory I used,
whatever the settings. Very strange that.

I can change it by just choosing some other place in the the save as
dialog, but I cannot get rid of that dialog (in theory for instance
setting Saves files to Desktop should get away with that dialog, but
it doesn't).

When I change the directory things indeed get fast enough: But this is
still a problem, as I prefer to have everything in the same directory.

I also wonder, why this suddenly becomes a problem: The Debian sarge
Firefox didn't have that problem.

 Also, perhaps an aptitude reinstall of some of the mozilla/gecko
 libraries will help? It seems that these are common in all packages:
 libatk1.0-0
 libcairo2
 libfontconfig1
 libglib2.0-0
 libgtk2.0-0
 libstdc++6
 libx11-6
 libxi6
 libxrender1
 zlib1g

I checked those libraries. They seem to be all installed ok and there
are no stale libraries laying around, as far as I can see (using
ldconfig).

Thanks a lot!

I should have written saving a page is incredibly slow.

Now it's clear that this only is the case, if the download directory
has many files in it. (Other applications manage, so it is still a
problem.)

But now I'm wondering.

Earlier versions of firefox had their own save as dialog - giving
for instance the choice whether the just the html page, or the whole
page should be saved.

But now at least I get something which looks like the standard gnome
save as dialog. (I use KDE.) It's three part: Name, Save in Folder,
Browse for other folders. No choice of what to save. Is that now for
all etch users the case? Or could it be an indication of where lies my
problem? Why would this gnome save as dialog considered to be an
improvement?

Thanks again!

You can restore the XUL-based dialog again by setting
ui.allow_platform_file_picker in about:config to false.

 My suspicion is that the download manager reads first my home
 directory - which is huge - and for that reason takes long to
 start. But under sarge this wasn't a problem and other programs too
 manage to open my home directory in a reasonable time.
 
 Any suggestions?
 
 Thanks a lot in advance!

Try downloading a large package using wget, and see how fast it goes.
This way we'll know if it's your connection or the Mozilla engine.

Have you tried it with Konqeuror yet?

Close previous iceweasel processes. Start iceweasel without loading any

This is one of serveral reasons that I gave up on the geko-based
browsers and went to Konqueror.  You can use it even if you don't use
KDE.

There _may_ be a solution but I just needed it to work, so I tried Konk
and haven't bothered to try to fix geko.

Very fast :-)

No, it's definitely Mozilla related.

Konqueror opens (visibly) my home directory for saving - that for the
first time takes some time, but for later saving it's much faster
than with Mozilla. Saving itself goes very fast. (Very slow for
Mozilla etc.)

Thanks!

I have to warn you that some sites don't render well with Konqueror.
While overall it is very good, there are some sites that you might need
to tell konqueror to identify itself as something else (Tools  Change
Browser Identification).  That will fix the problem most of the time,
but not always.  Don't purge all of your browsers, keep at least 2 with
different engines just in case.  BTW, Konqueror is also quite a good
file manager.

Just a tip.

Joe

Clear your cache.

Restart Iceweasel.

Make sure none of your partitions are out of space.

Make sure your /tmp directory has appropriate permissions:
drwxrwxrwt 18 root root 20K 2007-01-11 09:23 /tmp

Indem du in die Logfiles von Apache und/oder der Download Manager

Konsequenz c): Er ist eine Gefahr für das Netz.

Christoph hat die Logs ja immerhin schon gefunden, also trifft c) aus a)

Da Christoph ja andernorts schrieb, das er nichts in den Logs findet,
wäre jetzt der nächste Punkt für ihn:

Paketsniffer wie z.B. ethereal (oder tethereal wenn auf dem Server kein
X vorhanden ist [was ich doch einmal stark hoffe]) anwerfen und das

mozilla plugins and download manager

[Simon Tod]

Having downloaded a bunch of plugins for mozilla 1.2.1
from marillat.free.fr (stable) the flashplayer and
acrobat plugins are happily recognised. I also
downloaded openquicktime ran ./configure, make, make
install then created symlinks for the .so files from
/usr/lib/.mozilla/plugins (where all the other .so
files appear to be) to the where make install had put
them, but mozilla doesn't pick them up. Why?
I also tried to download realplayer from
marillat.free.fr, fetched the rpm as required but the
setup does not appear complete - looks like I have to
do some extra setup when I try and run the program but
it 'froze' my system - not quite sure what was going
on here, f3 etc., crtl+alt+del and more wouldn't do a
thing and I had to resort to turning the machine off
(ouch!). Anyone else had problems with this?
The other thing I've been trying to do is to persuade
mozilla to use prozilla as its download manager but
can't any documentation on how to play around with the
download manager setup. Help appreciated.
Thanks..
Simon.

apt-get install prozilla

if you want to use the x-version.

Was man auch empfehlen kann, ist prozilla. Ich bin damit sehr
zufrieden. Aber er eignet sich nur für Downloads von einzelnen
Dateien. Nicht so wie wget, mit dem ganze Dokus, die sich über mehrere
Seiten erstrecken, passend auf der Platte ablegen kann. wget ist doch
um einiges mächtiger.

Wenn du aber nur einen Downloadmanager suchst, Thomas, der einzelne
Dateien runterlädt, dann bist du mit prozilla ganz gut bedient.

Ja. Und? Benötigt auch libc.

 Für Leute die kein QT möchten ungeeignet, wie einige andere Produckte
 auch die auf gtk  wie sie immer heisen aufsetzen :-).

Ich finde es absolut albern sich wegen einer Library einem Programm zu
verweigern. Ist aber bloss meine Meinung.

Nö. Benötigt libc6. Für Leute, die kein libc möchten ungeeignet.

Download Manager

[Thomas Huemmler]

Hi,

ich suche einen Download-Manager, der nach Unterbrechungen wieder an der
richtigen Stelle anknüpft. Hab schon gegoogelt, bei freshmeat und
debian.org nachgesehen, bin aber wohl mit Blindheit geschlagen. Hat
jemand 'nen Tipp?

Danke,
Thomas

Corrigindo, ele quase nao usa threads. Quando ele faz as conexoes ele usa 
um thread para fazer cada uma para nao bloquear o download.

O darxite e interessante para quem usa gnome. O gnome tem um applet que se 
integra bem com o netscape. Voce pode arrastar um link do netscape para o
applet que ele comeca a baixar...

Não sei se tem .deb, mas gosto do Downloader For X, acho que vc o encontra em 
http://freshmeat.net
Tem também o wget, mas é em modo texto.

hmmm... 

wget
prozilla
d4x (d4x-gnome-applet)
gtm

o gtm é uma belezura, você coloca no painel do gnome e arrasta
as coisas a partir do browser pra ele e pum... ele downloadeia..
o d4x também tem muita função boa...

se você quer fazer mirrors, nada melhor que wget e se quer velocidade
à toda prova: prozilla =)

ps: todos têm deb no woody pelo menos
