Hi UK-Robbie,

You are talking about downloading ISOs? This should be no problem with the downloader. Could you please provide a link that does not work. I have tried to download the Ubuntu 7.10 beta from here http://releases.ubuntu.com/releases/7.1 ... p-i386.iso and that worked alright.

I have a version of wget that gets around this if anyone's interested...

Hey Pressurized,

I have to look in to that.. It may be why it's not working right.
But saying all that Ubuntu is only like 687MBs to download

Thanks for your help

I'm afraid I'm seeing the same problem

Actually it work the first time, but then it crashed when I deleted the download. I restarted apache, and I then tried the download again. It completely destroyed the web interface. Even restarting apache did not help anymore, untill I let it stay off for one minute. When I treid again the interface hung again. Load was not increased, not funny residual processes were running, and no space or inodes seemed to be allocated for the download. No IO waiting either.

Wget-ing the same file works quick and snappy suggesting this is not a connection issue. My money is on that custom download proggel that came with bubba what tries to allocate space or something.
I tried to download a large iso on another server and that gave the same issues. Renaming the file from .iso to something else gave no improvement.
So my guess is that it is a file-size related issue and not a filename related issue.

hope this helps

To make things more complex:

rebooting bubba solved all problems. It downloaded the same ISO files it crashed on before. So I should have restarted ftd. How dumb

Anyway all works now on my end so I cannot really do anything on this.
