After getting increasingly frustrated with stalled downloads from ibilio I hacked /usr/bin/mydslgui.pl so that it would show the download progress.
I replaced the grab subroutine with the following...
sub grab {
`cd $to_store; sudo xterm -e sudo wget --timeout=3 http://www.ibiblio.org/pub...._this`;
`mydsl-load $to_store$grab_this`;
}
Works great. It uses http rather than ftp and retries after 3secs if it stalls, and it shows the progress in an xterm.
Just thought I'd share :-)
BTW love DSL. My friend gave me an old lappy that was 'unuseable'. Im not showing him it running DSL or he'll want it back!
