Hi Florian, I tried to download different files from ftp://ftp.redhat.de/pub/s390 from different directories: RedHat/RPMS/FreeWnn*, Guppi*, XFree86* and others (iso-images, for example) - none of them worked. I'm downloading from within IE5.5 and from command line. IE stops after receiving few bytes, ftp on cammand line gives input/output errors on files. Is there something wrong with the server? thx.
