FC3 Test 1 x86-64 DVD ISO only less than 80MB??

[greenleaf]

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.90/x86_64/iso/FC3-test1-x86_64-DVD.iso :confused:

I checked on 2 mirrors and found that the size of the DVD ISO file is less than 80MB only, while the first 3 of CDROM ISO are nearly all full 650MB plus 4th which is half full.

Are mirrors reporting file size wrongly?

ftp://mirrors.cat.pdx.edu/linux/core/test/2.90/x86_64/iso/FC3-test1-x86_64-DVD.iso

ftp://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/core/test/2.90/x86_64/iso/FC3-test1-x86_64-DVD.iso

Their path are all under /core/test/2.90/x86_64/iso/FC3-test1-x86_64-DVD.iso on both servers.

Have anyone downloaded this before?

What is the realistic size of this DVD ISO supposed to be? 2-3GB?

It could be my browser's bug reporting wrongly of the size.

My previous download of FC2 DVD ISO failed, using Opera in windows. Now I am still trying my luck with FC3 test1 on same browser.

Torent: It requires installation of a client am I right? This client isn't inside my FC2 I suppose?

I am totally new to Rsync & Torent, pse excuse my ignorant.

Bittorrent client does not come with FC2.

Thanks for the info on bit torent!

why dont you use gftp it works for me.

[ewdi]

the ftp server only recognize max of 2GB, if the ISO is more than 2GB i think it best using bittorrent

[triplehead]

use gftp or similar. I tried with browser (firefox) and it showed negative download amount after first 2GB. From the same ftp server it works perfectly with gftp so i think it is not a server problem, rather the client program.

[ewdi]

actually it also depends on server if they forgot to do ulimit to 2GB, i have problem with uploading and saving the files in our old server

Is Fedora in a middle of server file maintainance?

http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.90/
it is currently empty at this time

And this:
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.91/
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /pub/fedora/linux/core/test/2.91/ on this server.


In the mirror servers, the same thing is happening.

:confused:

I am anciously awaiting to download.
