<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>stephen - thanks!<br></div><div><br>i tried your idea of using a torrent (transmission-gtk) and in 1 hr, the iso file for ubuntu 14.04 was transmitted to my download dir.<br>
</div>i tried to read the logs (debug and error) and found some but maybe it was from the sending torrent. i moved the file to another<br></div>dir and the pgm did not like when i started another torrent. so i hand to remove the history of the torrent as well. restart the<br>
</div>pgm (may not have had to this) and started the identical file from earlier. it started and finished just like the first one. I use<br></div>cmp to diff the files and they were identical. that is good. <br><br>the file size is a little over a gigabyte. the file name is ubuntu-14.04-desktop-amd64.iso.<br>
<br></div>now i need to copy to a dvd. there is a trick to it (don't remember) so i must resume battle tomorrow. <br><br></div>thanks a lot!<br><br></div>david<br><br></div>ps<br></div>i remember a time when the external web would just slow down to a few bytes a second during the noon hr.<br>
