I'm interested in giving openSUSE a try and was investigating the various downloads. At software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.3 there is the option for a 64 bit download that is 4.67 GB! At Index of /distribution/11.3/iso the size of the file I need for USB is about 681 MB. Before I download, what comes with the 4.68 gig download that is not included in the other that is so massive in size? Other than the iso and the md5, anything else needed to install openSUSE from USB (plan on using Unetbootin)?
Asked this on Jul 21, and didn't get any satisfactory answers. Thought i'd ask again before i switch to Ubuntu or go back to Fedora: Has anyone gone to software.opensuse.org: Download openSUSE 11.3 and actually chosen "Installation Medium" as "4.7G DVD", "Direct Link", "32 bit PC", hit the "Download DVD" button and gotten the file "openSUSE-11.3-DVD-i586.iso" which is not 49.0MB?
I mean, the steps above are not rocket science, and not much chance of making mistakes, so i'm not sure how i can get a download popup which specifies that the file is 49.0MB file, if it's not actually that size?
I do not have a DVD and the number of CD's it would take to d/l SUSE 11.4 is silly. Is there anyway to download the stuff to mky hard drive and run it from there?
I am running a big ftp server on Proftpd, i need to limit the 1 same file download per IP so that customers download files should not download same file at a time. Is there any tool or method of doing it
I have downloaded the firefox 3.7a which was a tar.bz2 file. After downloading extracted the tar.bz2 into a download folder. Now I can figure out to do from there. How can update using this firefox update. All the zypper/yast ect. only use my repositories that dont have 3.7a and I can not figure out what else to do. Google searches all just say use package manager. But how do you use a package manager for a file on your hard drive?
I've started having problems with large file downloads. A download will start and after a while freeze. The downloads window reports the correct connection speed and gives an estimated time to complete, but it stays frozen. Small downloads, torrents and surfing are not affected. I can do everything else normally even when the download is frozen. I've checked with my ISP and everything with my equipment checks out.

This is an example of the error I receive when trying to do an update via YaST, YaST2, or zypper. Basically, curl is broken. With out it functioning normally, I can't use openSUSE's update mechanism to fix my system.

I'm not if I should download the i386 or the x86 iso. I'm not very familiar with hardware. The processor in the computer I want to install fedora on has an AMD64 athlon processor. My confusion comes from the fact that when I bought this computer it has what I assume is a 32-bit vista installation, and the recovery disc doesn't have the option to choose 64-bit or 32-bit installs like the one for my 64-bit vista machine does. The link for the computer I'm going to try fedora out on is here: [URL]. (I know it's not that great, but it's good for tinkering around with.)
I want to download a file from ftp server. My problem is that the file is very big, so i need pause and resume option and the site asks for credentials also(which i have).
Everything is cool, till I realized, that I still hadn't configured yum to keep downloaded rpm's in the cache :-( And I am ALWAYS keeping the downloaded rpm's !!! I have the filenames from the terminal, but can't figure out how to download them again (easily). I immediately thought of yumdownloader, but it doesn't work as I need it to:
# yumdownloader libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc14.i686.rpm Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit No Match for argument libxml2-2.7.7-2.fc14.i686.rpm Nothing to download
Maybe I need the contrary to yum whatprovides ? Is there any way to easily do it? (I was quite successful with wget, but I am still missing 11 packages which I can't find them in the repo.
knew to ubuntu and wondering how to down load various files from the net as iam getting them to the down load folder and then im not quite sure which way to proceed i have googled various solutions of which to go through the terminal.
I am trying to create a script to do the following.. Login to a ftp and download a with the following naming convention xmtvMMDDYY.xml.gzon a daily basis followed by extracting that file. which I can do easy enough with a static filename. but the variable filename is throwing me off. I was planning on doing a mget with wildcard to just grab the entire directory but this found to not be as clean as I had hoped. Mainly due to the admins of the ftp keeping multiple days of the above mentioned file on the site.

I am downloading openSuse, and as its a big file, my 2 hr download has been reseted by the server once last night.Then at the mirror page, I found meta4 files that claims reliable and self-healing downloads.URL...But how does this meta4 file works really? I have no clue on how to use them.
The github site has a .deb package that I would like to use but the package is not in the debian repository. I am not sure how best to go about installing it. I think my options are to click on the .deb file and download directly to a directory or I could look at somehow finding the file in a repository. Also, I think there is a way to use aptitude or apt-get to download directory from the website. Are there advantages/disadvantages to the ways mentioned?
