I chose nluug because Thorsten reported it as a good source. But both connections timed out at the same time during my coffee break. :(
Good thing is that the ncftp download resumed at the breakpoint and
it's almost done now (running at 177,2kB/s now). But I haven't found
out how I can resume a download with Mozilla.
Now I'm really lost! The download worked until just 1 second was left. Then it stopped, timed out and showed:
------------------------------------------------------------------------ MandrakeLinux-9.....iso: ETA: 0.01 650,37/650,49 177,21 Could not read reply from control connection -- timed out get MandrakeLinux....iso: could not retrieve remote file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
The same output I received from the servers last night. This happened with ncftp, ftp, Mozilla, on 2 different machines, both with sufficient space on the target partition and on the tmp partition. Nothing has changed with my internet connection and I never had problems with downloads before. Last large download was RC1 when I started all 3 downloads at the same time using ncftp.
Now I made another attempt with Mozilla at ftp.surnet.nl and it timed out at 230MB and 40 minutes to go. Not knowing how to resume a download I give up.
Worst thing is: Now I wasted 2.8GB of my monthly limit of 5GB and can't get RC2 anymore via download because I need the remaining 2GB for other things. So if Final comes out in September I'll have to wait until October... :((

You need to get familiar with rsync. Navigate to the directory with the partial downloads and run this from the command line:
rsync -Pv --stats --progress ftp.sunet.se::Mandrake-iso/i586/MandrakeLinux-9.2rc2-CD*
This should also help with your limited bandwidth when final comes out. Just rename the local .iso files to match the final release file names and run the same command. It should only download the differences between the files--giving you a shiney updated .iso at a fraction of the time. I don't know how much of a bandwidth savings it will actually give you so you may want to keep an eye on it.
