Personally i have seen very few download failures. One or 2 out of a 1000 isos, and i do download a lot. Now aborted downloads due to server down, line down , application down, or plain out of disk space are more common in my world, but i would not count them as download failures, since something else failed. I would also discount the times when i aborted the download for any reason. That leaves me we one instance of dl trouble i remember in the last 3-4 years. Cheers Szemir
