Unable to download FreeBSD

2011-04-20 Thread Balaje Suri
Hi FreeBSD Team,

When I try to download the FreeBSD distribution (by clicking on the link
that refers to location:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.2-RELEASE) , I get an
error 425 Failed to establish connection.

Could you please let me know an alternate working link.

Thanks  Regards,
Balaje.

Try remving the ) close parenthesis from the end of the URI.

The link is good. You should probably configure your ftp client to use
 passive mode.

And if ftp just won't cooperate with you, you can always go to

http://torrents.FreeBSD.org:8080/

grab a torrent file using HTTP and use a BitTorrent client to get what 
you need.  Unless, of course, your local firewall/network/ISP/etc blocks 
BitTorrent also.
