Cannot donwload 4.7 GB of open suse 11.4

[agunet74]

Hi there,

When I click download DVD 4.7 GB, on any browser (I tried in Firefox, Opera and Chrome) It started to download 4.3 GB instead of 4.7-

The first Download was 4.2 GB and I though that was wright, but the checksum didn't match. Now It started download only 4.3 GB

Why is that?
How can I solve this ?

thanks in advance for any feedback

The DVD ISOs are approximately 4.3GB in size.

Guys,
Do not try to do a regular HTTP download without a Download Manager during heavy loads like these few days after a major release.

If you're running KDE on your downloading machine, I've described how to use Kget, see post #10 in this thread.

I used aria2 to download mine with the metalink.

I used the torrent. Not only is it way faster, but you help others too.

Speed for the 32 and 64 DVD running at the same time: +- 1.400 KB/s each.

aria2 AFAIK uses torrent as one of the ways it downloads the file as well as the mirrors. I got 1.2 MB/s (which is around the maximum speed of my connection)

Here is the extract from the metalink file of bittorrent:

<url type="bittorrent" preference="100">http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.4/iso/openSUSE-11.4-KDE-LiveCD-x86_64.iso.torrent</url>

x86_64 DVD is just over 4.6GB or 4.3GiB. i586 DVD is just over 4.5GB or 4.2GiB.

Ok. I'm downloading the 32 bit version, so Iwould be 4.2 GB. I downloaded the file, and when I check for a checksum, this is displayed:

openSUSE-DVD-i586-Build0024-Media (/home/agunet/Downloads/openSUSE-11.4-DVD-i586_2.iso)
Medium: DVD1
Size: 4434460 kB
Result: Error -- MD5 sum does not match
This medium should not be used.

I think I have to download the file again, haven't I ?

It looks like it, this time try downloading it using a torrent or metalink.

Hi,

After failed direct downloads I tried, I'm trying to download via BigTorrent. One only doubt: What does it means when the status is "Stalled" instead of "downloading" ?

thanks,
