>Are you behind a firewall, and if so are you choosing the passive ftp? No, what I have done is just downloaded 3.2-RELEASE off the 'net to my Win95 box for time/backup reasons, and am just running a Win95 ftp server (either War/G6/Netftpd) - this gives me backup/resiliance in case my ISP kicks me out !. What I have found is that adding memory has solved the problem viz: On a Dell Netplex 486/25, I installed perfectly OK with just 8Mb, but this install used a minimal driver set, the other installs have been to a Dell 486/100 Dimension, but with a CD player (etc) installed - I swapped out the network card for a PNP NE2000 clone, upped from 8Mb to 12Mb, and while there was still a slight pause after 1024K, the download picked up and ran OK, I would guess that with >12Mb I would not have even noticed the pause. Seems to me that install needs >12Mb for safety, the funny thing is that reverting to 8Mb still runs OK, ftp gives a slight pause, still, with EDO at £20/16Mb I can't really complain. Now off to install the rest of the system.
