[opensuse] Gwget reports wrong file size for a 4.3 GB download
I am using gwget (GUI front-end to wget for GNOME) to download the oS 11.2 M6 DVD ISO from http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.2-Milestone6/iso/. The file size reported at the FTP server is 4.3 GB [1]. But gwget shows the Total Size as 313572 kB (313.572 MB). [2] Is there a problem with gwget that reports a wrong file size; also any other suggestions for large file d/l other than gwget ? (I read earlier that Firefox could not handle file size downloads > 4 GB; is this still true for FF 3.0.13 ?)

Thanks,
Try the command line program ncftp it can handle large files. You can also use the command bgget in ncftp to download a file in the background. There is also gftp for gnome, but I don't know if it has a size limit or not on downloading or uploading files.

Use aria2c command to download openSUSE isos, and please fill a bug report against gwget. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
