Hi there,

I'm having trouble downloading large gzip files from places like
sourceforge. For example a 20MB gzipped OpenGL game I tried to grab
today 'Finished' after 8MB (Ark tells me the gzip is incomplete, with
the expected 'premature EOF' etc...)

I'm using Netscape 7.01 (Download Manager says file is Finished and
shows the size as 20+MB), but an ls -l in my Download directory
shows only 8MB has actually transfered. This has happened many times
when attempting to grab large files.

I'm on Snap Internet (unlimited access) via a 56k V.92 external DSE
modem (Intel based hardware one). The file was averaging 4.5kB/sec
and had seen few pauses in stream...it just stopped instantly and
D/L manager said it was finished!! Ridiculous!! :^(

I'm running MDK 9.0/KDE 3.03 on a DSE Terminator...

Kind regards,

Chris Wilkinson, Dallington.
