large files will not transfer on t1 connection

[Lehmann]

My college has two T1 lines and I am having problems downloading large files over it. Downloading just Quake3 (50 megs) takes three tries sometimes, and very large files like the RedHat 6.2 iso is nearly impossible. The file always times out, many times at 99%. Any ideas? Thanks.

see if there is an option to download said files in parts. contact the system administrator... i doubt they can do anything since downloading also involves uploads from the source.

I would try a utility like getright from GetRight to resume it when it times out. If that doesn't work, I would talk with the sys admin.

What Operation Software is your collage running? NT, Novell? Your System Administrator may have it setup so you cant D/L anything over a certian size. Do you have to logout and back into resume D/L's If so thats your problem maybe. If not its another issue I believe. Its hard tpo say with out more information.
