Re: [orca-list] downloading ubuntu image

[yokoy <orca yokoy de>]

hello mohammed,

the best way to download big files is to use a proper download manager 
like "wget". The command line download manager "wget" is also available for 
windows.

http://wget.sunsite.dk/

The integrated download managers in firefox or ie are not really reliable.
Also, try to overburn a normal cdr instead of using a dvd - should work.
