how one could download an fedora core dvd iso which is above 2GB
 

Could anyone let me know how one could download an fedora core dvd iso which is above 2GB. I think that http and ftp can download only upto 2gb and above that it's not supported. So was just curious how to download. Are there options other than Bit-Torrent??

thanks,
RM.

it is just your client dont support "donwload-a-single-file-that-is-larger-than 2GB" :D

serious...use some client that support it e.g d4x, wget

hmmm, sorry about that. i would try them. i think dap would also work.
thanks for the help. ;)

wget -c fedora_\>2GB_url

I have a Fedora Core 3 install DVD, real thing, not a copy, got it from some linux magazine, if you cannot get the download, i will mail it to you if you live in the U.S.

if you do want a torrent here i found this link for you:

good luck.

Use wget from command line
 

wget will keep grinding away until it has the entire file and you don't have to babysit it. Issue the command from a terminal window as indicated above and go have lunch! It will finish when it's supposed to.

Good luck and enjoy Fedora!

thanks for the info. using wget as of now.

If you would like a graphical frontend to wget, try install kget or gwget.
