Description John 2006-01-26 20:00:14 UTC 
cannot get the download to complete.

GetRight is stuck at 98%.

uTorrent will not get the files; says server actively refuses it.

The torrent issue is normal from my experience. No peers when I need a file.

The HTTP and FTP issues are strange. I am 2 mins away from being done and your servers ALL ACTIVELY SIT THERE AND IGNORE ME.

Hard to say anymore nicely.

I am disappointed.

Fix: 

bandwidth
How-To-Repeat: try to download ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/torrents/6.0-RELEASE/6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.torrent

&

ftp://ftp2.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ISO-IMAGES-i386/6.0/6.0-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso

This would more seem like a local error then an FreeBSD error. We have
many downloads but not these complaints.

However: You mention ftp2.freebsd.org, did you try ftp.freebsd.org?
or ftp.yourcountrycode.freebsd.org ? Perhaps they work better and
allow you to download the entire iso file.

You can find a list of FTP servers here:

Goodluck!

I am sorry this is not a bug.  Though I gave a little 
advise on what you can try to perhaps fetch a working 
copy.  Goodluck.
