RE: Downloading complete version of SP4

[David Wright <dwright@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Douglas...

By any chance are you behind a firewall or proxy/socks server?

IBM's FTP site is one of the most finicky I have dealt with when trying to
download from IE.

To get it to reliably work with huge files, you will need to goto Internet
Opions under the Tools menu.  Click the Advanced Tab, and select 'Use
Passive FTP'.

That's the only thing that has worked for me when downloading large files
using IE...

Hope that helps,
David

Subject: Downloading complete version of SP4



     Since last Friday, I have tried to download the complete version of
     SP4, and have never got thru the download without an error.  So far, I
     have tried around 6 times.  I get around 1/2 or 3/4 thru, and the
     download crashes.  Of course, it's a HUGE download.  Anyone have
     suggestions?  I don't want to run the Web update, because there are a
     lot of programmers here using CODE, and I want to download it once and
     then put it on the server for the others.

     Thanks
