If you download it using Free Download manager or any supported download manager you should be fine. Also one note DVD images over 2GBs in size require you to download it from an FTP site and you must have Windows XP installed using NTFS and your download should be downloaded on an NTFS partition. If XP is installed using FAT32 your download will always say 2GBs and will always be corrupted. So if you don't have NTFS I think a torrent is your only way.

Oh noes! The download police will tell you off for using a http mirror such as http://mirror.pacific.net.au/linux/suse/ or http://www.planetmirror.com/pub/linux/suse/suse/.

FTP is best for transferring files, as thats what its designed for. HTTP will still work perfectly fine though...

Ok, so it requires you to download from an ftp site, but then you can also use a torrent?

Part of the issue may be the 32-bit issue. To express a filesize in bytes, the largest size that can be expressed by a 32-bit integer is going to be ((2^32)-1), or just at 4GB. I am not sure if you need a client, or a server, or both capable of understanding larger integers to download the file properly.

I am going to guess that the HTTP protocol reference was based on most browsers not being designed for these larger values.

I have never downloaded a DVD .iso (don't have a DVD burner :p), so I haven't experienced this (nor have I investigated beyond the basic 32-bit integer limitation as being the issue with overly-large files).

Just got back to the pc, and firefox says this:

-956623 KB of 2097.2 MB at -56KB /sec

what?

Sorry, I really don't know how to help you as I've never downloaded a DVD image before, but that really made me laugh :rofl: especially the -56KB /sec part.

Try downloading it with an ftp client, as suggested.

Sounds like it could be overflow/wraparound of a 32-bit integer to me. :whistle::shifty::ninja:
Offtopic is the DVD a full copy or a just a eval

Well, the only SUSE "eval" would be the Live CD, I guess. And this would not be a LiveDVD.

There are "Personal" and "Professional" SUSE editions, but I would guess that most any images found would be the full "Professional" version. And, yes, this is perfectly legal as long as other people aren't selling SUSE. (at least per my last, and somewhat ambiguous, response from the Novell Legal Team)

Now when I try to download, it says 184.4MB, wtf is going on?

Edit: And to answer the question above, i presume this ISO is just a renamed ftp-iso what suse used to release, an installable dvd of the ftp version, which is the full suse distro, minus a few commercial packages.

I had the same problem when downloading from the international mirrors, but on there web page I got to the actual dvd dowload that was not 182 megs each time you tried downloading it.

SUSE LINUX Professional eval version

Follow the instructions there and you will get the right DVD.

There is no evaluation version, SuSE/Novell simply renamed the FTP version to Eval for some reason.

It's the full version minus MP3 playing and a few commercial programs which they can't distribute for legal reasons. MP3s etc. can be fully enabled by running the YaST Online Update and picking the 4 multimedia packages.

Just like daPhoenix said it is the full version. Confusing that they name it an eval version though.

With superb howto's and tips and tricks etc..

I have just downloaded Solaris 10 DVD iso, but it was in 5 parts. It still took me 4 attempts to get parts a and b without them corrupting.

About 2.5G in total when the parts are joined

    • There really isn't anything magical about the low latency profile, other OS's do this as well. All they're doing is using your CPUs boost clock options in a more smarter way. Normally how it's been used is that your CPU would boost for only heavy workloads, not for minor things like UI and starting some apps. This change take advantage of your higher clocks for those fractions of a second and then drops them down again. There shouldn't be any noticeable hit to battery in the end as well. In the end we're talking minor clock spikes that don't last long enough for even your fans to spin up.
    • So we shouldn't have the option because of people using their laptops on battery? OK? LOL
    • If you hear that fans for a limited time the CPU spikes to open a app I don't think the problem is with the software. There shouldn't be enough time spent at the higher clocks to produce enough heat to peak the fans. Maybe it's time to crack those dell laptops open and clean them out?
