I had no problems with mozilla/firebird|fox, but in general it's better to use a download manager. md5sum the files befor you burn them. md5sumd for win32: http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/md5.zip (command line version) http://www.toast442.org/pub/md5.exe (with gui) > So I tried to logon to > an FTP site with an FTP program but none of the mirrors seem to work, I can > not see a list of files in the FTP program.

If you are on a network you will need support for passive ftp, IIRC it was introduced in internet explorer 5.5 or 6. But I recommend ws_ftp. Have fun Christoph
