Mozilla Hiding Images

(1/4) > >>

Master of Reality:
I just spent that last 13 hours downloading the ISOs for RedHat 7.3.
I was sure that i saved them in a folder called /tmp/isos but they are not there.
I did "find / *.iso" and all it came up with are a couple ISO in /tmp they are not big enough to be the full images. Is there a log somewhere that i could look at to see where Mozilla tried/did save the images to??!

Zombie is right on (did I say that?). Never use your browser to download large files such as ISO images. I like "wget" or "ncftpget" for downloading images. To search for all ISO images on your drive you could:

find / | grep -i "iso$"

BTW, I just downloaded RH7.3 last night and upgraded my laptop. Haven't noticed anything huge different from 7.2 except maybe a little nicer installer screen, and KDE 3.0 which I already had upgraded to. I'll dig around and see if I find any new toys.

wget is pissing me off, and Mozilla did finish downloading them because i left the download window open after it finished. Wget wouldnt connect to anything using ftp only my browser would, and i could only find FTP sites that were above 5 kb/s.

There must be thousands of people all trying to download red hat 7.3 for the last few days.

voidmain:
Do you have your browsers configured to use your proxy for FTP? If so that would mean your proxy is making the FTP connection directly from the firewall/proxy box and the FTPs are not being masqueraded. "wget" would be trying to masquerade through your firewall and if you don't have your masq set up properly (including the ftp masq kernel modules) then wget would not be able to work.  If on the other hand your browsers are able to FTP without going through the proxy then you've got me stumped. Shouldn't happen.

If FTP only works going through your proxy server and you can't figure out how to get your masquerading configured properly you can always tell wget to use your proxy server. You can either set the proxy globally for all users using wget in the /etc/wgetrc, or you can copy the /etc/wgetrc to ~/.wgetrc and modify it for your user only.  You'll want to set:


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---

Assuming your inside interface of your proxy server is 192.168.0.1.

And if you have your proxy set up to do authentication (require a userid/password) then set it like this:


--- Code: ---
--- End code ---
