Had this problem with beta1, so I just moved the obfuscatedly-named file over to a partition with enough space, renamed it and used ftp's reget command --- worst part was getting this done before another Moz d/l ran out of space too... That's why I now have a /ISO partition and avoid Moz d/l'ing for anything large. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
