Downloading a single large Fedora image shouldn't be a problem, even with an unreliable network connection (really slow is a different matter). It's best to use a robust command-line tool such as wget, rather than a browser (for a large image, reliability is more important than a nice GUI). wget can resume an interrupted download using -c. In the unlikely event the download gets corrupted (and I've personally never had this happen) rsync is available to repair it. If the network connection is unreliable or slow, it's best to use a direct download, rather than a torrent. That way you don't have to waste bandwidth uploading, and rsync is better at repairing corruption than BitTorrent, since it can make use of matching blocks even at different offsets inside the file. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
