I have tried with other downloaders like wget, Star Downloader, DAP, Internet Explorer Downloader, but they all show the sizes of the files to be downlaoded in MBs instead of approx 4GB each. Please help me in downloading the correct files. Thanks. -- allugI just tried with Firefox from your link and it shows 4449.1 MB No problem here...You might want to try again, it looks like the files are new. Maybe they weren't uploaded completely?Andrei
That's real interesting. Just for chuckles and grins, I tried it here, using Firefox and Mozilla Suite, with these results:
Up to higher level directory File: debian-32-amd64-binary-1.iso 4532384 KB 01/10/2006 06:57:00 PM File: debian-32-amd64-binary-2.iso 4539744 KB 01/10/2006 09:58:00 PM File: debian-32-amd64-binary-3.iso 91232 KB 01/11/2006 12:26:00 AM File: debian-32-i386-binary-1.iso 4555872 KB 01/16/2006 04:02:00 AM File: debian-32-i386-binary-2.iso 4541344 KB 01/16/2006 07:48:00 AM File: debian-32-i386-binary-3.iso 959552 KB 01/16/2006 11:06:00 AMNOTE: There is now a binary-3 disk. Also, the file sizes do not match the ones found by the OP. They are close, but not the same.
When I tried to do the DL, I got the following file sizes: Using Firefox: binary-1.iso -- 2097.2MB binary-2.iso -- 2097.2MB binary-3.iso -- 959.6MB Using Mozilla-Suite: binary-1.iso -- 2097152KB binary-2.iso -- 2097152KB binary-3.iso -- 959552KB Only binary-3.iso matches the file size from the directory. Something definately seems to be a little off. -- Marc Shapiro mshapiro_42@yahoo.com
