Thanks, Stan. I did try just restarting it with just the command below and it picked up where it left off and seems to be working fine. curl -C - -O 'http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso' No quotas -- and I did try another mirror and got stopped at the same point. So, not sure why the problem exists but I'm happy that running the command again does pick up there and finish the download. Thanks for your help! Fred -- It's just easier (usually :-) to download directly to the server and be able to run the command in the background.

Instead of getting the full 3.4Gb, it always stops at this exact size = 1073762304 Nov 26 09:21 Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso I have tried the Fedora 9 DVD iso but had the same issue. I have tried different mirrors --- still same problem. There is plenty of space on the server. Could anyone please tell me what I might be doing wrong? (I have successfully downloaded DVDs and CDs using this approach before.) Here is the full script I am using...minus our real server name and port. #! /bin/sh function get_iso { curl -v -x <our proxy server>:<our port> -C - -O $URL } # End of function get_iso URL="<a href="http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso">http://mirror.its.uidaho.edu/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso"</a> get_iso Any help is much appreciated!
