Hi all.

For the past 2 days I have tried my utmost to access FTP sites as I want to download the SUSE distro of Linux. Is it just me or my pc? Is anyone else having the same prob?

These are just some of the links:

ftp.is.co.za/linux/distributions/suse/
http://ftp.sun.ac.za/ftp/mirrorsites/suse/
 
Ok, seems Firefox doesn't like me :P . Actually installed IE and et voila!

Thanks guys :)

Really slow when I tried them a couple of weeks ago for the SuSE 9.2 Professional distribution. I understand IS throttles non-IS users to a maximum of 64kb/sec. Pity really, since that pushes us on to an international link.

I used the Aachen mirror from http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/eval_de.html or you could try one of the US or other mirrors from http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional/downloads/ftp/eval.html

On a more general note, I have gotten some very nice download speeds when I picked up my Mozilla and Open Office updates yesterday and today. I wonder if the those of us getting our last downloads in before the cap have been offset by the people on holiday!
 
you probably had firefox send through a default user/pass which the ftp didnt like
 
i have it on http://bbj.homelinux.org/SU920.001.iso -- all the way to 005.iso

I've already hit my cap so bw isnt an issue anymore - Get it before the evening of the 30th. The files will be removed after that.

Download the md5 checksum file form suse.org and compare against the files you got from me.

PS - Files are copying as we speak, so give it about 30 mins or so ( i only have a 100M Lan Link )
 
yeah or use a mirror anytime from now till when they stop making suse
 
you get a server error 500, very undescriptive, but its a max connections reached. Try later. ( i think those are the source CD's ) Never needed them until i installed kernel source.

PS if youre planning on installing this under vmware, know that the vmware-tools does not work in suse 9.2 ( u gotta use 9.1 or lower ). Something with the new kernel version.
