Hi,
I'm using Mandriva 2006/KDE with Reiser V3 FS.
I started downloading a (Knoppix) DVD ISO file (size about 3GB) using
firefox (1.0.6) from an ftp server.At the evening, I had about 1.8 of the
file downloading at 58KB/S, so I left it overnight.
When I checked at the morning, firefox download manager reported a NEGATIVE
download sped of-30KB/S. I suspended the download, and using Konqueror, and
it showed the partial download with about 2.6 GB size. I pressed the resume
from Firefox download manager, but it won't resume (tried several times and
waited 10 minutes after each resume).

Please note that:
a. I'm still connected to the Internet ( I can browse from the same Firefox
in a different tab).
b. I'm using Reiser V3 filesystem.
C. I've still have 40GB free of the partition I'm trying to download into.

I suspect the problem stems from the fact that the size of the partial
download exceeds 2GB.
Please advise if, and how, can I resume downloading with starting all over
again.

TIA

I use konqueror and kget to download large (up to 8GB) files without
problems. Kget will pick up the d/l, and complete the partial file.

I believe that you have an issue calculating the offset, but it may not
be in in the client. Just because the server can deliver a file > 2GB
doesn't mean it knows how to do the math correctly to set the offset to
continue.

See the "-c" option of wget, it describes resuming a download started
with another client. I don't know if wget is using 64bit access, I
believe it is because I downloaded a DVD, but didn't resume the D/L.
