5.5 iso Download Fails
« on: October 02, 2002, 05:22:57 PM »
I've had problems connecting to the mirrors so I've gone directly to ftp://ftp.e-smith.com/pub/e-smith/releases/5.5/iso/ to get the 5.5 iso image.  5 attempts result in a 42.9 MB file and the site says it should be ~315 MB.  I'm quite new to this environment but am trying to atone for the sin getting MS Certified.  The md5sum on the 5 attempts match each other but do not match that on the site.  The repeatability of the download leaves me puzzeled.  Anyone care to assist or comment?

You could try something from http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?type=begins&file=smeserver-5.5.iso ... I use GetRight for all my downloads, so I don't really have much advice. Tried from another PC? Perhaps there's not enough temp space on the drive or something? It does seem odd that it would quit at exactly the same time though... I downloaded it not too long ago without any problems, though it may have been from a mirror...

As you are in the UK, if you drop me an email (brianr at bjsystems.co.uk), i'll send you a CD with it on.

cheers
