If you're after the 4.5GB SuSE 10 DVD and are trying to download it on
linux or Mac, I've had problems getting it past the 2GB mark with
Mozilla Download, Konqueror and wget due to some inherent property of
+2GB files on *nix based systems. Maybe Ian can explain this away.
However, I compiled the latest version of wget which supports very
large files and got the whole image successfully. Very simple build.
Wget FAQ from
http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html
3.1 Does Wget support files larger than 2GB?
Yes, starting from version 1.10, GNU Wget supports files larger than
2GB.
HTH.
