Hello Friends, I just wanted to share wat im doing right now...May sound crazy..But experts here may give me some advice tats why im writing this...
I started downloading knoppix on sunday morning(08:08:05) with my sify broadband connection...But till afternoon i could download only 12% of the total download using the Firfox browsers inbuilt download manager after which i had a power shut down :(
So i had to restart the download from 0% again in the evening,Some one in one of the yahoo chat rooms suggested me to use "FlashGet" to download knoppix,So till yesterday nite i was able to download 15% of it...Again today morning i started it,Its still downloading :D
Whn i just look back,I feel wat im doing is quite funny or

Hi there, What you need is a download manager, which is basically what "FlashGet" is. There are many other download managers, "wget" being the favourite of most linux users. Its available for windows too. :) http://www.gnu.org/software/wget/wget.html Since you have started using FlashGet, you can continue with it. About the speed, dont worry, it once took me a month to download an ISO.
Another way out is to ask the lug in chennai. http://www.chennailug.org/Someone could give you a CD. Or you could look for a magazine like "Linux for You" or some other which has the CD.
