What's up with "recommend[ing] that you use *curl* to download the ISO images ... |*curl -C - -O 'very_long_url'"? What kind of cruel joke is this? How many tries do they think it is going to take a mere mortal to copy that 'very_long_url' from the status line of mozilla without an error? What good does it do anyway that "*|The '*|-C -|*' option allows you to continue the download if it is interrupted" if the session authentication cookie expires, invalidating the 'very_long_url' hours before the connection craps out (which is days before the download might conceivably finish at 5kBps)?
Right click on the "very long url" in the browser window, select Copy Link Location, paste it into an editor window. Highlight it, go to your terminal window, type in curl -C - - O , then press the middle mouse button to paste in the very long url. No errors. Repeat with a new visit to the rhn site whenever the process stops. I too was frustrated, but now have one complete ISO with proper checksum, one estimated to end in 10 minutes and the last in another 3 hours. I restarted a number of times, but the end is now in sight.
gerry tool
