Hello SuSE people I have been trying to download theopenSuse 11.3 iso for three days and every time it stops prematurely. I successively tried the SuSE repository, then a french one (much slower) and I am stuck at my secont attempt from http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/opensuse/distribution/11.3/iso/openSU SE -11.3 -DVD-i586.iso (de, prio 130) Which appears to be the fastest : 14 hours 27' only ! ! in my case.
The faster and most reliable method (it includes error correction) is using a metalink capable downloader. There is info about that in the help links of the download page.
The iso should be 4 Go and I have only 3.7 Go ( 3,961,190,992 Bytes exactly). It is y best success until now, but I suppose it is not complete and cannot be used as is.
Are you using a FAT disk as the destination of the download? you can't.
No the disk was Ext3
Thank you Jan, Tejas and Carlos. I installed DownThemAll and downloaded a metalink iso from SuSE but did not know what to do with it Then I found a list of Metalink compatible mirrors and I am downloading from it it appears to be faster (13 hours 27 ' only) I hope it won't stop before end and will keep you informed of the résult.
Presently DownThemAll is using the metalink as a "referrer URL" ?
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.3/iso/openSUSE-11.3-DVD- i586.iso?mirrorlist
and I am downloading from
http://mirror.ovh.net/opensuse/distribution/11.3/iso/openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i58 6.iso
If everything goes right I should have the isot to-morrow morning. and it will be thanks to you.
Thank you again. DownThem All was a success, with metalink. It was not without any trouble at all since the the download stopped five times ; but every time downThemAll was able to resume where it had stopped and I did not have to do it all again from the beginning. as previously. That is why it was a little longer then announced. However I have the iso complete now and I am about to burn it on a DVD.
