TigerLinux · 10-18-2005, 03:14 PM

it is supposed to be 4.2GB, but why when i downloading it, it shows only 183MB ?
Many downloding sites also having the same thing.
WHY?

!!!!!!!!! Attention !!!!!!!!!
The DVD iso image is 4.5 GB in size. Some operating systems and/or
browsers and ftp clients are not able to handle files of this size. Such
browsers will show a file size of 184 MB for the 4.3 GB DVD iso image. Do
not try downloading the DVD iso image if you do not see a size of 4.3 GB,
during directory listing or during downloading when a progress bar is
shown: It will almost certainly fail. Go with the CDROM iso images
instead, try another FTP server/mirror (not all of them handle large files
correctly, too) or use an operating system and browser of a newer
generation. The technical background: The limitation is 2 or 4 GB, which
is 2^31 or 2^32 bytes. If those sizes are exceeded, older programs start
counting again from 0, and the 184 MB of size that you see are the actual
size of 4488353792 bytes minus 2*2^31 == 2^32 == 4294967296 bytes:
193386496 bytes, equals to about 184 MB.

anyone can please translate this for me:
(ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distrib...o/split/README)
ftp.gwdg.de kann Files > 2 GB derzeit nur per rsync ausliefern (nicht per
ftp, nicht per http).
Deshalb liegt hier das DVD-ISO in drei Teilstuecken.

Unter Linux kittet man die so zusammen:

FN=SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso
cat ${FN}.part1 ${FN}.part2 ${FN}.part3 > ${FN}

Unter Win$ows geht es so:

copy /b SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso.part1 + SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso.part2 + SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso.part3 SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso

Easiest way is to download an FTP program (Filezilla) and download it from there.
I encountered the 184MB problem in Windows XP, but did not experience it using Filezilla.

Hello!

(ftp://ftp.sunet.se/pub/Linux/distri...so/split/README)
ftp.gwdg.de kann Files > 2 GB derzeit nur per rsync ausliefern (nicht per
ftp, nicht per http).
Deshalb liegt hier das DVD-ISO in drei Teilstuecken.

Unter Linux kittet man die so zusammen:

FN=SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso
cat ${FN}.part1 ${FN}.part2 ${FN}.part3 > ${FN}

Unter Win$ows geht es so:

copy /b SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso.part1 + SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso.part2 + SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso.part3 SUSE-9.3-Eval-DVD.iso

ftp.gwdg.de actually can deliver files >2GB with rsync (not with ftp, not with http)

Due to this, the DVD Iso Image is splitted into three parts.

To reassmable under linux:

FN=Suse-9.3-Eval....

cat ....

Under Windows it works as follows:

copy....

---------------------------------------------

Under Windows you can use ftp-clients like filezilla.

Filezilla is only for Windows. I thought you wanted an FTP program for Windows so you could download the DVD.

Linux already has a built in FTP so you don't need to have an external program.
USe your browser or the command line.

i use filezilla to download debian 2DVDs, from ftp site, can pause and resume anytime, very good.

not only that, if you stopped your download for any reason, the FTP resumes even if you download the same file from another mirror. very good, and recommended. I would like it to have split downloads
