Hi,
I have been trying to get a local installation of the RH6.0 CD on a
machine
in our department. I have tried to do this off of a number of sites on
the net
and from a number of machines inside our network with a consistent
problem.
The problem is that every time I try to download
howto-korean-6.0-4.noarch.rpm
the connection stalls and eventually times out(!?!). I have had similar
problems before when downloading other versions of Linux, but always
managed to get around it by going to a site that will tar and gzip the
directory
structure into one file.
Now, in actual fact I don't want howto-korean but I would like to try to
get
to the bottom of this problem. The reasons for this are
1. I want to mirror RH Linux but cant if the mirror software keeps
timing out
when it gets to this file, and,
2. Because its pissing me off!
I am no network expert but it seems to me that something is happening
internally
in our network because the problem occurs whether I try it from a Unix
or
Windows box.
Does anybody out there have any remotest idea what could be causing this
problem?
TIA,
John.
