I started the download, went away, and came back to find it partly done, giving (I'm afraid I didn't note it exactly) an error about there not being enough disc space. I now have a 562Mb yarrow...iso file and 562Mb free disc space. The site concerned doesn't do chunked downloads but does respond with a correct Content-Length: so something's gone awry here. Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1.Have less then twice as much disc space as you need to download something 2.Try to download something 3. Actual Results: Partial download, error about not enough disc, leaving exactly the same amount of free space as the size of the partial download Expected Results: Completed the download, I had plenty of available disc space My Windows XP runs on only one partition and that's what I was saving to. I'm reporting this as major since (i) downloads failing pointlessly after several hours of waiting when you've over a gig of disc free is nuts, and (ii) anything that stops me or anyone else getting Linux installed is clearly serious ;-) I do already have Red Hat 7.2 on another box, and it's the one due for the upgrade to Fedora, and I would be using it only it doesn't have a CD writer, and Gentoo on another, and I'm not entirely clueless, so if there's any additional information I can provide - save wasting 500Mb of my or anyone else's bandwidth to try this again - I'd be delighted to help.
