But what do you do if your only access is HTTP via proxy?
HTTPS could help as well :-)
Maybe there's a chance that the proxy supports large files via FTP, at least. Manually picking an FTP mirror from mirrors.opensuse.org might be worth a try, if one is stuck behind such a legacy proxy.

you could also just circumvent the security on the network with an ssh tunnel, if you really had to. assuming: a. your desktop can access the website directly b. your desktop can ssh to the machine that needs the iso c. you don't have something running on port 80 of the machine that needs the file (this isn't a hard and fast requirement, but it makes things a little easier) if the url is http://www.opensuse.org/downloads/iso/11.3/thehuge.iso from your desktop: ssh -R 80:www.opensuse.org:80 id@target.that.needs.iso from target that needs iso: wget http://localhost/downloads/iso/11.3/thehuge.iso and you should be in business. similar silly pet tricks can be used to get around most things and can really get you into (or possibly even out of) trouble if you run squid at home and can ssh there. -- Even the Magic 8 ball has an opinion on email clients: Outlook not so good. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
