Question: Good Download Site for ISO Images ?

rvijay · 11-02-2003, 04:08 PM

What is a good site to download ISO CD Images of Debian ? I am trying to download 3.0r1 also called as Gorilla. I have 56 K Connections.
Using sunsite.ualberta.ca mostly. Got all CD's except CDs 4 & 5
Something or the other happens when downloading and the download restarts !!!
Didn't have much success with a fwe other similar sites listed on the Debain Site.

Thanks in advance for any assistance !!!

You should be fine with just the first CD, save you downloading much more. Thats all I ever use.

Try here Downloading Debian CD images via HTTP/FTP
there is a huge list of sites from where you can get Debian GNU/Linux iso's

If you use windows and 56k, then use something like Getright, a download manager. That way if the download get broken or something, it will pick up where it left off at.

Also you can try mirrors from http://www.distrowatch.com for ISOs.
