Hi, I'm having a problem trying to download the images archive on Debian with the latest updates installed.

When I try wget it fails completely, even when I set a timeout value of 900 seconds. I only get about 4K and then the attempted download stops.

When I try lftp (pget URL) or curl they both will download between 300MB and 600MB and then the OS freezes with no indication of why in the syslog.

Anyone else had this problem or know a way around it?

One more question, can the images be obtained on CD?
