A. If you are using a Unix based system such as a MAC, we have a known
issue. The file name is getting prefixed with the folder name. E.g - if
you downloaded the file 'xyz.bin' to a folder 'abc', the file name in
the Unix directory will be 'abc\xyz.bin'. The file is fine to download.
Please rename the file to remove the folder prefix 'abc\' before using
the file. We are currently working on resolving this issue.
the fix is to replace "\" with 'file.separator' in pathnames. It's in
java.io.File. Not hard stuff, this - I've never written a line of Java in
my life, but it only took me about 90 seconds on google to find this out.
Didn't anyone actually test this product before it shipped?
I also got hit with this problem in the last couple of days after trying to
download a new software image, and had a moment of overwhelming facepalm
when I realised what it was doing.
For the record, it took just over 5 minutes and about 30 mouse clicks to
find the software image I was looking for, starting off from the home page.
Once it started downloading, the rate meter was mostly pegged on
189kB/sec, but would imperceptibly flick between 189 to 383 and then back
to 189 again. Was the person who coded this poached from Microsoft?

Q. Why did you remove the IOS Upgrade planner?
A. The IOS Upgrade Planner was recently retired as part of a Cisco
support initiative. The Download Software area supports all Cisco IOS
software. This is one of many enhancements designed to streamline your
software download process and make it easier to find IOS Software for
your Cisco products.
Please can we have the old IOS upgrade planner back? Pretty please?
And if not, can someone please tell Cisco that the Java downloader is
teeth-grindingly awful. There are primitives in browsers for downloading.
Please use them instead, instead of reinventing the wheel and ending up
with a square axle.
