Are you sure that the download finished correctly? Was this reproducable?

I did this a couple of weeks ago without problems on my modem connection.

I tried again 5 times with 0.9.7 on my cable modem, but the file size were
always smaller than the correct size (14,877,685 bytes).

1st, 2nd and 3rd : 13863936 bytes
4th, 5th : 13884416

I could download the file successfuly using Netscape 4.78.  BTW, I haven't had
any problem downloading other files using mozilla.

I am using Debian Woody with kernel 2.2.20.

How much free space does /tmp have? We temporarily d/l to there first - taht
could be it.

Comment 4

[du11y]

That was it.  I had only 13M space in /tmp (blush).  ln -s /var/tmp /tmp did it.

Thanks for help.
