ISO downloads not working!

P

Panzerknacker

Hello,

I am new to this forum and FreeBSD, the reason I registered is because I try to download the ISO image to burn an installation disk, but every time the download hangs between 55 and 80% and IE says 'download interrupted' and it has to start over but the same thing happens. I want to get into FreeBSD but I cannot download it! Anyone else having the same problem? The following are the links I am talking about:

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/r...-IMAGES/9.2/FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-i386-dvd1.iso
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/r...IMAGES/9.2/FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

This is very weird! :e

Try to download it with other desktop browser or via torrent.

Ok the torrent worked, thanks! But I think the files are broken on official FTP server, can someone else test if they work?

You can use an online FTP tester and verify that it currently works, e.g. :)
Code: 
#Server details
Host: 204.152.184.73
Port: 21
Username: anonymous
Password: [color="Green"]<empty>[/color]
 
The online FTP tester gives me errors when I enter ftp.freebsd.org

Can someone try to fully download one of the files I linked?
 
The CD ISO downloaded just fine in under four minutes. Try the Dutch mirror if you like (ftp.nl.freebsd.org).

I checked that ftp.freebsd.org is working properly using wget(1)():
% wget [url=ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.2/FreeBSD-9.2-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso]ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/relea ... -disc1.iso[/url]

As @DutchDaemon suggested you can try other FTP mirrors as the above example, the Dutch one.

Note that Wget is available for Windows and other platforms.
