Here is the command I am using to get a particular file: (wrapped)
wget -m --passive-ftp -T 15 -w 3 ftp://ftp:tim.locofungus.org@; ftp.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates /7.2/en/os/i386/php-manual-4.0.6-12.i386.rpm And here are the results of downloading it via a cron job: March 1st warning: Expected size: 15749632 = lead(96)+sigs(293)+pad(3)+data(15749240) warning: Actual size: 1684024 2nd warning: Expected size: 15749632 = lead(96)+sigs(293)+pad(3)+data(15749240) warning: Actual size: 1666648 3rd warning: Expected size: 15749632 = lead(96)+sigs(293)+pad(3)+data(15749240) warning: Actual size: 1682576 4th warning: Expected size: 15749632 = lead(96)+sigs(293)+pad(3)+data(15749240) warning: Actual size: 1675336 I have now tried a couple of times manually and it has failed twice at about 1.6M The connection dies at this point and no further traffic will go over it until pppd is killed and restarted. (I am using iptables to nat the ftp connection) Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening. It isn't the filesize itself because I have just downloaded it to work and then used scp to copy it to home It appears that the connection doesn't actually drop. pppoa3, pppd are running ifconfig looks normal. Just no traffic :-( **** Also my disconnect/reconnect script doesn't seem to work properly after this has happened. It detects that there is no traffic. Kills pppd. Reconnects. Checks that all is ok and then exits. An hour later it does the same. Eventually after about 6 hours of this (it ran once per hour, I have now changed that to once per 5 mins) it seems to get back into sync, usually with a new IP address but not always. (This could, of course, be a bug somewhere in my script :-) Tim. -- God said, "div D = rho, div B = 0, curl E = - @B/@t, curl H = J + @D/@t," and there was light. http://tjw.hn.org/ http://www.locofungus.btinternet.co.uk/ Liste de diffusion modem ALCATEL SpeedTouch USB Pour se d�sinscrire : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe
