Probably not a government restriction. Debian.org is pretty fast to reach even

Do you have http testing tools like curl by your hands? It would be useful to 
take a look at what they say.

Is Debian.org/download ok on your environment? It's weird if 
Debian.org/download works but the links within do not work.

Debian download page does work here from France.

I think that's because he is using iCloud Mail, which masks the real user's IP

Works flawlessly for me, with all of Firefox, w3m, and wget.
(https://debian.org/download redirects to
https://www.debian.org/download , and the HTTP version redirects to that

The only download links on that page are for the source package, which

Click on "all" under Architecture and chose a mirror that is close to

Same for some memory. It turned out in a system audit, when the team
assigned 16GB of memory to 4 machines, the audit program reported the
system as over provisioned. After some "looking into it" the team found out
it had actually 62GiB RAM. Since then they assign 4x15 and 2 left for the
OS.

As you've discovered from the other responses, that size difference is
just a matter of the size units used.  What's important: Does uget
satisfy your definition of a "decent' download manager?  Does it do
what you need it to do?

Yeah. That was when a whole GNU/Linux did fit on a single CD.

I also miss the old times when one could buy a lollypop for 5 pfennig.
The only thing that eases nostalgy is my 4x3.5 MHz Xeon with 16 GiB RAM

That's probably due to the Indian numbering system[0] being used, which

Have you verified that these files are corrupt using known checksums? As others
have pointed out in some replies, the discrepancies you are seeing are
consistent with comparing a MB (SI unit) with a MiB (base 2, e.g. 1KiB =
1024B)), which suggests you have downloaded them successfully after all.

Sure. It's a translation from ancient german "Verkaeufermeg", an expression
from the time when the disks reached gigabyte sizes and the disk sellers
began to count in SI units, which gave them 7.4 percent larger numbers.


Disks capacity was labelled with SI prefixes (not units, byte|octet are 
not SI units) before it reached gigabyte sizes. The smaller hard disk 
drive I still have is labelled 270 MB, and its capacity is 270,054,400 
bytes (CHS 959*11*50). My other under-GB hard disks are labelled similarly.



Up to then, only SI purists like physics teachers insisted that kilo is
1000 and not 1024.


Not only SI purists but also networking/telecom guys. 1 kbit/s has 
always been consistantly 1000 bits per second.



Blu-ray discs labels say "25 GB" but the media offer only 25025314816 bytes,
which shows that the thrifty merchants give us not more than 17 floppies

That's simply the ambiguity between merchants' and physicists' MB and
programmers' MiB.
The image 2.png says "91.2 MB (9,11,79,280 bytes)". Ignoring the strange
commas in the byte number one can compute

  91179280 / 1024 / 1024 = 86.95533752441406

which matches the "87.0 MiB" shown in image 1.png.

So the only problem is in the commas.
The programmers of both tools were even so nice to properly mark their
numbers as "MB" and "MiB". One can still see lots of "MB" in other programs
which should actually be "MiB".


Have a nice day :)

I guess, it depends on what you mean by "decent."  Take a look at
uget.  It's GUI-based and besides its other features, has Mozilla

I think I've posted before that I arrow up and down in my terminal,
too. It's not 100% reliable because the history kept in memory depends
on the order of how you shut down multiple terminal tabs AND windows.
The recently past history that is presented is specific only to each
logged in user's usage.

A while back I decided I also needed something beyond a text editor
file to keep snippets I simply then copied and pasted into a terminal
window and such(ly). I specifically went looking for "sticky notes".

Several different packages come up for that kind of search. I tried a
few then found xfce4-notes (xfce4-popup-notes) possibly already
installed in my xfce4 desktop environment. I use those A LOT on a
daily basis... :)

There are "clipit" type packages out there, too, that save recently
copied snippets from our "clipboards". I "use" it occasionally, but
the sticky notes dealy fits more in line with what I need..

You shouldn't need to memorise them. From your rant, you're obviously
going to remember "wget", so you just start each alias with "wget-"
and the rest of the name explains that alias's features, or which
site it's for, or whatever sort of memory jog you need:

Then consider to create one or more shell scripts for your various
use cases and to trigger them by desktop icons.
If this is not enough, consider to use some GUI builder kit and create
a graphical frontend to wget (or your scripts) that fulfills your wishes.

Whatever, problems with the correctness of wget's downloads should be
investigated independently of frontend programs or scripts.
Especially it would have to be tested whether other download facilities
on the same system yield better results.

That is the essential question. An example, rather than generalistions,
from you would help. Just one; something that could be tested.

Not negative thoughts about shell, I'm just not comfortable. It's that I 
cannot memorise/recall so many codes/scripts all the time, I even run down 
track of remembering all the alias.

This is not with respect to wget in shell, where I agree that multiple control 
to heart content is available but was in reference to GUI frontend of wget i.e 
the download managers in linux. The control over the file being download is 
somewhat limited compared to over wget itself.

wget works for me where a web browser would work too.
I quite often download ISOs with a few hundred MB or a few GB of size.

8.2.0 was released yesterday.  The ISO images take time to prepare and

Those who cannot wait are directed to the 8.1.0 netinst image: it will

There is logic to the choice of directories. But some of the websites

Anyway, for now, I will just use chromium for downloading purposes. Thanks

 Yes. That is what I am after.

Do note - it's *not* a KDE file browser, for reason explained previously.

It 'might' be possible to hack such a thing with a little bash, some
modification of the appropriate mozilla js, and kdialog (the scripted
gui tool) - and understand that approach may be difficult to maintain
across upgrade.
I'm sorry but it's not something I can provide instructions for, or have
time to try myself. Your best bet might be to either find a
plugin/extension that allows that (I don't know any compatible with
recent Iceweasel) - or write your own.
From unreliable memory you're looking for filepicker
(nsIFilePicker??). A cursory search show that function being called in
Firebug.

  
 
 NOTE: it *still* uses GTK not QT. Use an Iceweasel theme and KDE QT
 configurator to make it look like QT.
 
 about:config - filter for ui.allow_platform_file_picker
 set the boolean value to false (double-click on it)
 
 I tried this. The resulting file dialog is somewhat different but not
 same as kdialog. 

Yes. Noted previously. GTK != Qt
Until I see a working example of KDE being used for file selection in
Iceweasel this appears to remain and x/y problem (you want the same
features on your Toyota as are in a Ferrari - simulation 'may' be the
closest you can get).

 For example, in the kdialog window opened from
 chromium, if I click on the drop down where the directory name is
 displayed, it shows a list of directories into which files were stored
 recently. This feature is very useful.

File a wishlist bugreport upstream??

 
 However, after setting the ui.platform_file_picket to false, the
 directories listed under Look in: are just directories under the same
 tree. For example, they are as below
 /home/username/dir1/dir2/dir3
 /home/username/dir1/dir2/
 /home/username/dir1/
 /home/username/
  /home
 /
 This is rarely useful for me and involves multiple clicks before I get
 to the correct destination directory.
 

Understood. And expected. I haven't explored the abilities to define how
the GTK file browser sets the default locations offered - or how to
redefine it's interface. Either wait for someone else to respond to this
thread, or do a little research on your own.

You don't say what DE libraries you use. If you have KDE you might be
able to find an alternative way (x/y again) of achieving the same
outcome (I have little knowledge of GNOME).

Here's how to both set a default download location *and* get a download
location choice every time you download.

The toolbar is hidden by default, you can enable it by clicking on the
Open Menu button (three horizonal bars - top-right corner) - then
down the bottom-left of the new screen click on the Show/Hide Toobars
button - Select Toolbar, followed by clicking on the green Exit
Customize button (bottom-right). Or use the hot keys shown in [] below.

Open the Edit drop-down menu [Alt+e] and select Preferences [n]
In the Iceweasel Preferences dialog select the General tab (top-left)
Under the Downloads section (half-way down)
Select Save files to [v] and click on the Browse button [o] (by
default that's set to Downloads - but I'm not certain).
Navigate to where you want the *default* download location to be and
select it.
Back in the Preferences dialog select Always ask me where to save
files [a].
Done. Now when you download with Iceweasel you'll be asked where you
want to save files - and the default location will be offered, either
accept that location - or browse to the location of your choice.

 
 I tried the hack suggested in
 https://scottlinux.com/2013/07/23/enable-kde-style-for-iceweasel-and-other-gtk-apps-in-debian/
 . But this only changes the appearance of the widget style not the
 underlying widget. Any other suggestions?

Yes - see above.

I'm pretty sure no; I'm pretty sure that Iceweasel uses the GTK
file-chooser dialog, and that if this is optional, it would be a
compile-time option (due to linking concerns if nothing else).


http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2013/12/firefox-kde-integration-in-debian-testing/

seems to support that; apparently people have gotten it working, but it
requires a separate Firefox package, which was apparently built from a
patched version of the Firefox source (I think - details not provided).

According to the comments on that blog post, there are and/or have been
bugs filed against Firefox (upstream) about that, over the course of
years - but presumably not much in the way of resulting changes, or else
the separate package probably wouldn't be necessary.

 I am not sure what you mean by this. I tried searching wikipedia for

Wikipedia isn't perfect. It's a somewhat obscure term.

I was referring to you wanting QT support in a GTK app.

You want to change the features of the file browser/picker - a y/z
problem in this case as the features you want you've seen in a native
KDE (QT) app.
You can't get QT support (easily) in Iceweasel/Firefox.

Thus the problem is an x/y problem - how to get those features another
way (use the alternative GTK file browser and theme it like KDE) - it
will then look more like the KDE interface you want. Try it. It's easy
and quick to change back.

8-8--
 
 
 I think you misunderstood my question. 

No, but I did split the post into two parts (hit send too early). See
the second post for details on how to change the file chooser.

 I am aware of all this. But the
 file dialog you get when trying to save the files (after doing all of
 the above) is not very intuitive. Instead of this, I want kdialog to
 popup. To understand what I mean, try downloading a file from chromium
 and compare the widgets used by iceweasel.

You're comparing GTK (old and crusty) with QT (new and fast). Apples and
Oranges somewhat. Firefox has long been talking about refactoring and
recoding with QT, and SUSe has done some work on integrating it with KDE
more - but so far nothing easily workable has arrived.

May be I am missing something... But how is this related to the file dialog
opened by iceweasel when downloading something?

Maybe..My system uses 'paths' for downloads. If my reply did not help

As far as I know, there's no central list of expected mirror speeds,

http://mirror.netcologne.de/ has one).


Generally your fastest mirror will be one hosted by your ISP or one in

I don't think these are immediately available to users.  I would write
to listmas...@lists.debian.org and ask them to make archives available
to you.  But I don't know if they would do this or not.

It is also possible that one of the other sites such as Gmane might
make archives available.

  http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user
  http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-user@lists.debian.org/

Generally web archive sites tend to avoid making the raw email
available because if they do then people complain to them that their
email address can be found by web search engines.  Which is a silly
complaint.  If you send mail to a mailing list with 3,000+ subscribers
like debian-user then your email address is going to be known.

True!  I hadn't noticed that Debian didn't do this before.  (Because I

debian-31r8-i386-binary-1.template

I got the following message:

 What is businesscard ISO ?

 It contains the installer components only. Everything else has to be
 downloaded. Get the netinst ISO if you do not want to get the base
 system from the net. Recommended.

Re: Download 3.1: Link is not responding

[Zvi Vered]

Hi,

The reason I need 3.1 is that I have an embedded linux project started
~6 years ago.
It was based on a 2.6.16 kernel taken from debian 3.1
I have to install 3.1 on a PC to recomile the kernel and a device driver.

Thanks,

   Does this differ when using wget and web-browser's download?


I'm pretty sure wget will only write to the output directory you specify (or 
the $PWD), but not as sure when using a browser. But from my my experience, 
firefox at least, it downloads to the directory you specify (when choosing 
save link as) and not its web cache and then later just moves it over as a 
last step. As it downloads in firefox, you should see the filename created as a 
placeholder and the same filename with a .part extension in the location you 
specify. It writes the downloading data to the .part file then after it is 
completely downloaded it removes the extension.

I think the business-card image contains the full installer, while the

Hi,
it looks like problem with burning tool or OS.
Try InfraRecord http://infrarecorder.org/
Last few days I burned wit him 2 .iso and everything was OK.
When you download any .iso first check md5sum to see is it downloaded 
correctly, then burn it like image on lowest speed.

Wellcome to the free world.

In addition to what Chris suggested, perhaps you have a corrupted

Debian (I suggest the netinst CD iso), it will install just as well  
as the largest DVDs.

Even smaller than netinst, is the businesscard CD image. It is under
50MB long. It also is worth saving because it will continue to
download and install the most recent version even after future updates
of Squeeze make the current version of netinst obsolete. But for both,
I really hopw OP has an internet connection that is not 56kB/s.

The businesscard CD is for wimps :). The mini.iso weighs in at less than
20 MB.

Once you downloaded the ISO file, did you check the md5sum?

From what OS and what burning program? Burn failed is a very generic 
message, but seems to come from the burning app.
 
 Any suggestions?  I would like to get away from relying on Windows, and
 try your OS, as I heard it was superior.

Yep, you can use CD-RW/DVD-RW (or even an USB flash drive) as the 
installation source media, I mean, just in case something goes wrong to 
avoid having a pile of useless CDs ;-)

I guess I'm a wimp. I can't find 'mini.iso' when I google 'mini.iso debian'.
What is a URL that will lead me to it?
Plenty of talk about it, but no explicit statement as to where to get it
that I can see. Plenty of comments that it has been there but now is gone.
Talk is cheap, and wimps are plentiful.

Debian has a Windows installer, you can read about it here: 
http://www.goodbye-windows.com/ or go straight to the installer page and 
get the install started: http://goodbye-microsoft.com/


It will be easier to make a Linux partition and swap partition ahead of 
time before the install than worry about it while doing the install, 
just make a GParted http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php cd or 
put it on a flash-drive using unetbootin 
http://unetbootin.sourceforge.net/


If you are a totally new Linux user (Newbie) you may want to start with 
SimplyMEPIS-11.0 http://distrowatch.com/?newsid=06664 based on Debian 
stable and comes with lots of important new user help and an easier way 
to get started using Debian.

Make sure you are burning as an iso image and not just burning the actual file

Dear Sirs,

I haven't found the answer to my problem on the Debian's page. I  
would like to get some information about the installation packages.  
As I saw, there are more *.iso files, and I would like to know, that  
is the first one enough to install the system and do the others  
contain different softwares for Debian?


I'm looking forward to your answer. Sincerely:

Peter Petyanszky

Dear Sir,

In answer to your question, yes, the first CD (or DVD) of a Debian set  
is enough for installing Debian. Additional CD's and DVD'd just contain  
the rest of the software that Debian provides, but said software can as  
well be downloaded via the Internet AFTER you install Debian. The only  
thing to watch out is the architecture of your computer: the *.i386  
ISOs are used for 32-bit processors, and the AMD64 ones are used for  
64-bit processors (both Intel and AMD, despite the naming).
