I’ve tried ftp and http (and https). I suspect the problem is some interaction between ipv6 and my comcastic home network. The local library has been closed until today (since March 2020) so I’ll try there.
I agree that there should not be any problem to download the file. But with no other computer, and things shut down because of covid, my options have been limited. And this is not a high priority. I have plenty of things to keep me busy and the PineBook Pro is just a toy I thought I might play with. Also, PineBook Pro support is still young, and it appeared that a full install wasn’t possible without another computer to use as a serial console. That may still be the case with 6.9, but it looks as though an install *may* be possible if I can get the installer on a USB stick or an SD card, so I thought it was worth a try. But if it’s too much of a pain, I’ll just wait for things to improve more.
