downloading fc3 failed


Hi I am trying to download the DVD Image of Fedora Core 3. I used Kget and it went up to 99%. After that it kept saying

File Size Checked
Download Resumed

File Size Checked
Download Resumed

File Size Checked
Download Resumed

and so on.
and the file just kept getting bigger and bigger, I'm not sure if its even bigger than its supposed to be.
Right now when I load KGet and try and resume the download it crashes immediately.

The MD5s don't match and my file size is 2442860 MB according to ls -s.

Does anyone know of anyway I can 'fix' the file I already have and get a working ISO.

I'd really really appreciate cos otherwise I'll have to redownload 2.3GB!

Thanks

Use wget instead from a command instead of the kget gui interface that most likely uses it and try a different mirror/download site. If it never finished, the file is corrupt and its just wasting space for you now.

since then I deleted my corrupt download and redownloaded it off wget.
Mid download I noticed that wget said that there was a negative amount of gigabytes left and guessed correctly that it was a bug that would have already been fixed.
I updated wget and resumed download
but now it's completed but I the md5's still don't match. This time I downloaded off the official redhat.com server.
Would the bug in wget have caused a corruption in the download?
