Dear Void Main....RE:8.0
voidmain:
Did the download start? That is do you see any of the ISO file in the directory that you were in when you issued the ncftp command? If there is I usually start a watch on that file by typing this on the command line in the directory that the files are downloading:
--- Code: ---
--- End code ---
This will clear your screen and do a directory listing every five seconds until you break out with a ^C or close the shell.
ncftpget will probably be in the sleep state much of the time it is downloading as when transferring a file over a slow network (yes Cable/DSL are slow networks) much of the time it will be in a sleep state. That doesn't mean it's not working as hard as it can with the amount of bandwidth available. You'll be lucky to catch it in a non-sleep state actually.
In fact if it's a little slow you can blame me, I'm downloading disc 3 now. It only took a few hours to get disc 1 and 2.

Did it run off with your girl friend? Good for you on keeping RedHat in business for the rest of us scum bags to enjoy. I'm not completely decided on it yet. I didn't like it for the first hour as it seemed like quite a change and then things started turning around. I'm convinced it's 300% better for new users. But because they upgraded the compiler some 3rd party software sources need to be updated to work with it. That'll happen over time of course.

hmmmm now from sleeping it went to zombie.
voidmain:
It shouldn't have done that. My 3rd ISO download just clicked over 300MB. Is there anything in your /tmp/suse.out file?
Bazoukas:
