pro eval dvd only 188mb?
 

can anyone explain why when i try to download the dvd image that should be 4.3gb from any mirror it is only 188mb??? i dont understand? even in the ftp directory it reads 4300000 or whatever but says 188 when im downloading it?

There's a problem with the FTP server with large files. Try to find a bittorrent (this is actually legal).

Many servers have a 2 gig file size limit, i also got 188 mb, but if you use ftp downloader like ws_ftp pro (under windows) you are fine. not sure under linux.
You can also find a server without this limit. Or use bittorrent.
