Hi there, What you need is a download manager, which is basically what "FlashGet" is. There are many other download managers, "wget" being the favourite of most linux users. Its available for windows too. :) http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html Since you have started using FlashGet, you can continue with it. About the speed, dont worry, it once took me a month to download an ISO. Another way out is to ask the lug in chennai. http://www.chennailug.org/Someone could give you a CD. Or you could look for a magazine like "Linux for You" or some other which has the CD. -Akshay -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
