That was a real "pain", I found it to be cheaper, to just pay the guy that runs the internet cafe, and he downloads any "big ISO s" then he burns them to a dvd, that way also I don't have to just sit around "hanging out" 2 or 3 hour, while I wait for the down load to complete, The only time I have ever had problems, was when I did not have a good internet connection, and above I say how I solved it, With "With other big ISO direct downloads? ", indeed, because the pre-paidUSB broad band device, I have, is limited to 1.5 gb, anything over that, and it runs out of "air-time", How did I solve that ?, well that is another reason I like bit-torrent, when my device runs out of air time, I buy more (re-charge it), connect again, and continue with the down load, I downloaded one ISO that was 9 gb, it took 4 re-charges. The mirrors work fine, I have never had any problems with them, ok, well sometimes one may be very busy, and one needs to wait for a better time, or try another one. isos of other Distros that have no problems downloading for me. It still doesn't excuse why the Mirrors consistently have problems downloading for me. telling me I need to fix what's not broken. I'm sick and tired of the package manager with repositories from Mint, I like to limit my use of the synaptic package manager and commit to direct download and installing software as needed and uninstalling as needed cleanly as much as I can. So I guess the only other options for people like me with limited internet access, who want the complete set of debian-7.8.0-amd64-DVD-2 DVD'S is pay cash for them? So if there isn't a solution to this problem yet Please Just say so. for those dvd's on at least 1 that said it was done downloading. So my next question is: Isn't there some kind of good firefox addon to keep partial downloads from http and ftp while offline? Or at the very least? The option to SWITCH THE FREAKIN' mirror like a torrent file! Just a little bit better, kinder, and easier? There damn well should be! The hash tags and MD5sums and the rest of the Checksums didn't add up. Which browsers don't allow? I've discovered as I already mentioned (firefox / iceweasel 33+ more or less) for both Windows and LInux don't seem to allow. Until Now I've only done the canned crap spawning from the Ubuntu and Mint and SolydXK others debacled who want guinea pigs for their surveillence. It's very important to me that I utilize all the GNU fsf.org free software principles to the fullest extent possible (given certain non-free software that I still kind of like and am addicted to). I've never tried Debian pure and the full tinkering involved. I want to have the option to have the complete available software to install offline. I chose to try and download the debian-7.8.0-amd64-DVD-2 DVD'S to increase options when I get around to clean installing Debian. That I haven't already download the (under 1.4 gig live DVD's and that net install dvds. That the internet access I have available allows me to run bit torrents. That I have a Windows operating system to install Jigdo Wrongģ. That I have consistent steady internet access or home interent access WrongĢ. There are a lot of assumption that you people got to get over about me that aren't true.ġ. Please do not download CD or DVD images with your web browser the way you download other files! The reason is that if your download aborts, most browsers do not allow you to resume from the point where it failed. I've been using Firefox 35.0 and Iceweasel correction ), but the Standard download manager doing a direct download (not Jigdo or torrent or some other method)Īny suggestions or questions on resolving and solving this problem would be very much appreciated. I wonder if that's whose doing it: an ISP throttling prankster? This is annoying as crap! It's like a cruel joke from some ISP throttling prankster. On 4 or 5 different mirrors from the official Debian download mirror sites:īoth these ISO downlods go to about 4.0 out of 4.4 gigabytes and then hangs (after steadily consistently downloading on high 4MBps + speeds and then hanging and Dying!) at public internet places.
