Dwonload Hell...
 
Good God,

I've been trying to download teh Rehat 7.3 ISO files for a few days without luck. Dialog box says all 649 MB downloaded, but when I check the file, only 200 MB have actually been received!! WTF? Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe my ISP caps downloads?

This sucks...

Anyone out there willing to burn me the 3 ISO's

xgtr, out.

If you're 'Slacking, of course' why do you need RH?

BTW, try using wget or the 'nt' (Downloader for X) or Gentoo or something like that (Getright is good under Windows - I got extra.iso for Slack8 with that). Also try getting the ISO's from www.linuxiso.org

HTH,
vfs

P.S. If you can burn some ISOs I'd like to receive a CDROM :D

Well, if you're using Slackware then why not just use wget on the command line?

wget -c ftp://url.here

Shouldn't have any problems with that...

I use prozilla for downloads.
And when you have the images, don't forget to run md5sum on them.

If you have enough bandwidth to download ISOs then you almost certainly have enough bandwidth to do a network install. This only requires you to download 2 or 3 floppy disk images and boot from those.

How? How could I do a network install? Please, with as much info/detail as possible.
