Even worst when using a web browser as it will not warn you of an incomplete download. So I generally use 'wget'. It will automatically reconnect and start the download from the fail point. You can also use the continue option '-c'. If that fails try using a mirror. Just click on link to go to the SF secondary download page, and copy the 'direct link'. For example, the SF secondary download page is [1] and the direct link is [2]. wget 'insert direct link url here ...' -O vbisam-2.0.tar.bz2 Hope this helps. 1) SF secondary download page http://sourceforge.net/projects/tiny-cobol/files/isam/vbisam-2.0.tar.bz2/download 2) SF download direct link http://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/tiny-cobol/isam/vbisam-2.0.tar.bz2?use_mirror=hivelocity |
