Re: [opensuse] Gwget reports wrong file size for a 4.3 GB download

I am using gwget (GUI front-end to wget for GNOME) to download the oS

The file size reported at the FTP server is 4.3 GB [1]. But gwget
shows the Total Size as 313572 kB (313.572 MB). [2]

Is there a problem with gwget that reports a wrong file size; also
any other suggestions for large file d/l other than gwget ?
(I read earlier that Firefox could not handle file size downloads > 4
GB; is this still true for FF 3.0.13 ?)

Thanks,

Try the command line program ncftp it can handle large files.
You can also use the command bgget in ncftp to download a file in the
background. There is also gftp for gnome, but I don't know if it has a
size limit or not on downloading or uploading files.
