Hi there,
Has anyones out there met this problem before, I cannot download FreeBSD 5.3 iso images off their download mirrors. The download always broken somewhere around 50-70% of the file and cannot be resume in any way. I've tried with their FreeBS Centre mirror, Japan, Germany, Hong Kong ... mirrors, with or without download manager programs (Filezilla, Flashget...) but the results are the same - a broken download :-( Could anyones can help me to solve this, I acctually need FreeBSD but cannot buy it herein Vietnam. Tks! |

Strange, it donloaded fine for me.
and all the servers i found fully supported resumable downloads. all i can surgest is why not Buy a FreeBSD CD / DVD ? They only cost £4, so its probably faster, and cheaper to buy than download. |

Oh, I don't think FreeBSD CD can be ordered to deliver to Vietnam and herein Vietnam I don't have any visa/master card to pay over the net at all
 Tks for all your reply, I'll try to download it by torrent then. |

Perhaps try a net-install? smaller download, more configurable..although I've never used freeBSD. I'm an OpenBSD user.
