Now I have experienced something odd. I am downloading F7 using bittorrent. (It has been predicting about 16-18 hours of download time which I guess is acceptable) I have in another thread discussed my screen freeze problem, which now may or may not be expanding.

The PC usually freezes after some time of downloading, - well, it freezes anyway after some time has elapsed - so it may not necessarily be caused by the downloading as such.
But when I am about to pick up the downloading again, bittorrent-curses starts out by checking the cintents of the .iso file which has been downloaded so far. After a very short while the whole thing stops, and reboot is the only option. This has happened 3 times in a row.
Does anyone have suggestions here? It may be the "old" problem of course, but could this be some disk problem as well?
works best from level 3 but it will work in a terminal

cd /where_you_want_the_iso_to_ go

- all on one line- (this might line wrap)

wget -c
ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/iso/F-7-i386-DVD.iso


the -c will permit restarts if your machine crashes of you are disconnected.
Teh wget part is already completed, I am now running the bittorent_curses part.


I am confused by what you wrote. As I understand it you downloads the iso
with wget and now you are downloading the same iso with bittorent?

If that is what you are doing I just have to ask why are you downloading
the same iso twice?

That is not what I am doing.
First i did run wget http://torrent.fedora.project.org/torrents/Fedora-7-i386.torrent
Then I am running
bittorrent-curses Fedora-7-i386.torrent
and now F-7-i386-DVD.iso is created. I have so far downloaded 363,593,728 bytes of this file, but now the problem I describe is putting a stop to further downloading.
When I start the *-curses again, it begins with examining the *.iso file, but at an early stage of this examination the computer simply shuts down, i.e. it freezes.
It seems that it calculates how far the download has come so far in order to continue the download from that point on, i.e, it has a built-in -c option. At least that is my interpretation of this.

Is the confusion brought into order? :-)
