download DVD iso file question
Hi
After downloading the CD iso file, burning to CD, trying out Knoppix and liking it very much, I'm trying to download and run the DVD iso file from various sites. It downloads as a 47.5MB file, but I'm trying to download the 4GB file. Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm new to the Linux world.
How can I download the full 4GB DVD iso file? Thanks.

Knoppix 5.01
I have been trying to download the iso from various sites and it fails everytime. I think something is wrong with the iso. Never had a problem before.

The iso is too large to fit on a FAT partition.

See the above. And it may also be your choice of downloading tools, some tools also have the 4 gig limit problem. Use a current copy of BitTorrent as recommended.

You are not the only ones who have this problem http://www.knoppix.net/forum/viewtop...=104110#104110
Your best bet is to use bittorrent. If you can't use that then try to download it with via FTP with a good ftp client. On Windows I use FileZilla.

Trying again right now
I'm trying it again right now. So far so good. I never had a problem downloading the file before, with previous versions. The last time I tried to download this one it got to 99% (4G) before it failed. I used the ftp client in Konquerorthe last time. And I am doing the same this time.

Well it failed again at 99%. I will try using Gozilla and see how that works.

Are you trying to save the file to a FAT partition? If so, there are file size limitations for that file system.
Seeing that the file fails at 99%, it looks like a 4Gig file size limitation. The ISO is just OVER 4Gig, so it will not save to a FAT partition, nor will all download clients work with such a large file. Bittorrent is the preferred method for download. See: www.bittorrent.com for more info and to download the program.
To assume that the ISO is faulty would be incorrect. I downloaded mine and have no trouble. Many other people have downloaded it and have no trouble either. It might just be the process or destination in your case. There has been good information posted for you previously and I would recommend that you not ignore it, if you want success with the download.

See answer #1.

Verifying of md5 checksum and burning a CD at slow speed are important.

Thanks for the replies Harry and all. The problem was not FAT32 file size limitation as I use NTFS. The problem was with Internet Explorer version 6 I'm using.
I tried the same download using Firefox and bingo ... downloaded first time! It took 22 hours on my ADSL as an ordinary download, not using BitTorrent.
Looking forward to trying out the DVD version. Thanks again.
