I have been trying to download the CD image for YDL but when it gets to the very end instead of closing the transfer it just sits there and then the file is bad if I cancel the download manually. Anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? 650mbs is kind of a lot to keep downloading in vein..

I know this might not be the response you are looking for, but try downloading from a different mirror. I downloaded the ISO the other day, and I got it fine, but I was using one of the FTP mirrors. Another benefit of the FTP mirrors is that some of them support resuming downloads, which can be handy with such a large file.

Peace,
sam

I tried downloading MandrakeLinux and had the same problem. My download ground to a halt just a few megabits short of completion. I simply right-clicked on the download in the download manager and told it to resume. That did it.
