http://www.linuxforums.org – As you can tell by my post count I am new here, so Hi there! =) I'm sonicx059 ITT Tech student and a fan of linux Distros. I like trying different linux distros but I have a problem with downloading them. My only connection to the internets is through my school's internet. Everytime I try to download an ISO the school resets the connection. I couldn't even download DSL. The solution; download the iso's that 's been archived. So far the only distro I could download is slax because of the .tar download option. ~P.S. Buying anything is currently out of the question so those suggestions might be ignored. With that story out of the way do anyone no of a server that has ISO's in an Archive file of some sort. Thanks in Advance (HowTos)

Hi,

I often download different distros and try them out, but is there a way to check the checksum while downloading the iso? I think that the download must complete first to do the checksum, right? I have a slow net connection and thus i have to use BitTorrent or Gwget download manager. Thanks.

Although my broadband internet connection is quite good, my download of the large file often fails with a Connection Lost error message.

i am currently connected to the internet through my school proxy (its the connection am using to post this message) yet, the installer cannot detect any connection to download installation upgrades. what could be the problem and how could i solve this problem? am currently using a12.04 live cd on toshiba amd 64 satellite

How to resume a svn download? 1 year 13 weeks ago

I was trying to download a very big package using svn. It got interrupted after about an hour due to internet connection failure.

I want to download this game 0A.D. from http://www.playdeb.net/software/0%20A.D. .deb file. They keep their file up to date with the source code, so they have the newest versions. I don't want apturl to handle it. I just want the deb so I can install in on a machine at home which does not have an internet connection. How can I just download the .deb file it points to.

About Linux Distros 11 weeks 4 days ago

I am using Linux for two years or so. I have seen that you can create your own linux distros. My question comes regarding the legallity of doing so.

I have a server in USA (Linux box B), and my home PC (Linux box A), and I need download a file from website C,

The issue is, it is very slow to download a file direct from A, so I need download the file when I log in B, and sftp get the file from A.

Is there any way that I can download file and use B as proxy directly through only one line command?
