I agree with Mark on this one. I usually use "wget -c" to download anything more then a couple hundred mb<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/21/07, <b class="gmail_sendername">Mark Overholser Jr</b> <

I have found that it is unwise to trust Firefox to download large files, as it will fail for no apparent reason at different times (though it will probably tell you that it finished the file). If you are trying to use Firefox, I would go to a different method of downloading the files before giving up.

A couple of questions.<br><br>First, does anyone have the Mandriva 2008 DVD? If so,<br>could I get a copy? (For some reason I can't even<br>download the CD, it fails at various places from<br>various mirrors.) My son really wants the Beryl
<br>(Coldfusion) or whatever it's called desktop.<br><br>Second, can I do an "upgrade" to 2008? I currently<br>have Mandriva 2007 loaded. The reason I am using<br>Mandriva is I dabbled with Mandrake a few times X
<br>years ago and it seemed fairly good. I have tried<br>Ubuntu and Kubuntu and just can't seem to get them<br>configured for my wireless network card while Mandriva<br>was almost overly helpful with using NDISWRAPPER. Now
<br>if I can figure out why Ubuntu/Kubuntu recognize my<br>sound card and automatically configure it when<br>Mandriva doesn't.<br><br>Third, why can't I get the upgrade feature to work. It<br>just won't go out to the archives. (I don't expect an
<br>answer on this one at all yet because I am not<br>providing any details. Just putting it out there.)<br><br>Now if I only had the time to configure NTFS<br>read/write, figure out the sound card, WINE, ...<br><br>Unfortunately, for all its failings, I am stuck with
<br>MS Windows for my daily work because it just works,<br>most of the time. Blah blah, be quiet Ron...<br><br>Thank you very much.<br><br>Ron Knapper<br><br><br><br>__________________________________________________<br>
