To OP: you may wish to try one of the mirrors closer to you (Spain, France, South Africa?? I have no idea how you connect to the world). See http://www.freebsd.org/doc/fr_FR.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html Another thought is to consider using Bittorrent if it is available to you. As this splits the files into many small chunks, checksums each one independently, and can be stopped and restarted at any time with very little loss of already transferred bytes, you may find it more resilient in your situation. --Jon Radel smime.p7s Description: S/MIME Cryptographic Signature

What software are you using for the download? Perhaps your FTP client is doing it wrong. Checksum problems occur sometimes during downloads ... that's the _reason_ checksums are provided, to detect corrupted downloads. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Need to download FreeBSD
Mr./Ms.: I am trying to download FreeBsd from http://www.freebsd.org/fr/where.html. But so far, I have been unsuccessful at it as I am asked to provide a user name and a password. Anonymous login does not work either. Though some few days ago I started downloading Disc1 (iso) just to find out that the checksum was not right. Can I you assist, please ?
