It isn't a quota or disk space problem, either. The downloads have varied, depending on which ISO, but one gave me about 21 meg, whatever the source, another gave me 53 meg, and the most recent ISO has been dying around 113 meg. I can break, reconnect, and try to resume, but as I said, not a single data byte gets sent - as though something in the ISO is triggering servers to stop the file transfer, while the software on my end is expecting far more data. -- Mark L.
