Well, I would assume that the download went so slow at one point that it disconnected you. You need to log in as anonymous and use your email address as the password which is how all anonymous ftp works. I would suggest using a client such as gftp or ncftp (if you prefer a terminal based app). These apps have auto resume. You can put an entry for ftp.suse.com in their bookmarks and it will use the same method to connect everytime and you can set them to auto resume the download if there is a problem. * Albert Wagner (alwagner@tcac.net) [010407 11:07]: =>Why do I get a spurious dialog requesting a username and password to connect =>to ftp.suse.com?
