[newbie] downloading

[Nijs, Vincent]

Dear Mandrake users,

I am a poor PhD student trying to download Mandrake 7.1. I am using windows
2000 an IE5.5 and am having difficulties with the ftp server resetting the
connection (5 minutes seems to be about the maximum I can hope for) and
downloading the link files (e.g. files like 'basename', 'chmod' etc. in
/Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/bin/).

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Vincent
