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.
