Two tips:
 - I'd suggest using some file download software such as WGet or GetRight.
 - Pick a different mirror (eg. mirror.aarnet.edu.au if you're in Australia)

Also - if you're using a FTP program to download, set it to binary. If you're using ASCII download for a binary file (which the cd image is), some characters which are normal for a binary file are in ASCII mode interpreted as End Of File, which means end of download...

It doesn't work too in binary mode. I want to load the current Image from
ftp.e-smith.nl . When I reached the 4% mark (12MB) it stops and it's stands and doesn't start anymore. What can I do???

Using a download manager could help a lot.

I'm using GetRight and I've tried Wincommander in binary mode but it didn't work.
I don't know why?
