If the filesystem you are downloading the image to is not limited to 2GB (this might be the case with VFAT), the problem is probably due to the lack of "large file" support in your download client. You should in this case be able to complete the download by using curl: curl --output FC3-i386-DVD.iso --remote-time --continue-at - http://your.favourite.mirror/path/to/FC3-i386-DVD.iso (that's all one line, and should be run from the directory containing your partly-downloaded ISO file) Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
