Hello there, To download the iso image, maybe try using filezilla, a very easy ftp doze client. It has reasonable resume functions: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=21558 Or maybe get a torrent client such as Shareaza, and get the iso via P2P: http://www.shareaza.com/ In terms of documentation, the handbook is the best place to start: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO88http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/59-1/books/handbook/ All the best .nbco
