Some good confirmation that this 'Archer' n00b is nothing but the latest troll passing through. Hopefully he'll be gone soon like most trolls. -- "Ubuntu" -- an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me". "Bother!" said Pooh, as he dropped another white rhino.

Viele Gruesse Helmut "Ubuntu" - an African word, meaning "Slackware is too hard for me".

The "ftp" program from 32-bit Slackware (even Slackware 13.1) stops downloads at 2^31-1 = 2147483647 bytes. ftp comes from netkit-ftp package and it's described as "the old BSD FTP client" and "This is a program of mostly historical value. For a more powerful command-line FTP client, look at something like lftp." A dvd iso can be downloaded correctly using ftp protocol at least with lftp, ncftp, gftp, wget, lynx, firefox, seamonkey. (And the old "ftp" works in 64-bit Slackware, of course. Up to 2^63-1 = 9223372036854775808 bytes, I guess.)

"Don't feed the trolls" shows the proper contempt, but since Windows and Outlook made Usenet available to idiots and lunatics, it's no longer practical advice. Many are too stupid or obsessed to be affected by passive resistance. Dan C attacked me without reason. From what I've seen, he's done that to others too, apparently with impunity. That doesn't apply now, and if others smack him for his churlishness too, he might just learn some civility. ----snip---- Cheers, Archer |
