Problems downloading the DVD iso

Hi,

I'm having trouble downloading the DVD isos. FTP and HTTP on several mirrors report that the size of the file is between 75 and 72 MB, which is obviously incorrect.

I tried ignoring that and downloading the DVD iso. What happens is that if the download processes is interrupted after downloading 75-72MB of the software, I cannot continue it using wget -c.

It is thinking that the download is already complete.

Anyone had success downloading the DVD isos?

BTW, I cannot use bittorrent as i'm behind a cheap DSL modem that won't blocks access to my network from the outside.

Is this when using ftp mirrors? I heard something about this being a problem with the ftp settings/protocol. Try some http mirrors and or a different download manager.

I tried both, FTP and HTTP mirrors with no luck.

What I'm trying to do now, instead, is download the CD isos and then convert them to a DVD iso using this tool:

It is an old tool though, I'm hoping it will still work on FC2.

Try this baby :
http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/freshrp...c1.fr.i386.rpm

Downloader for X;
Pause the download, right click, choose "Alternates, add the same file from a different mirror, ok, right click choose properties > common > segment download > (However many mirrors did you add)

This rocks, full speed Road Runner downloads during the rush for core 2.

kimatrix: That's what I tried, and couldn't complete the download. I'm currently downloading the CD isos, hoping they will get converted properly to DVD.

Norm: Thank you for the suggestion. I will try it if I cannot produce the dvd from the cd isos. I'll probably install this package anyway. Sounds like a great app

Thank you for all the help. I will report back with the results that I get from trying this.
