When I tried to use FTP install on Red Hat 6.0, it hangs while
downloading/installing the packages. I have tried a couple of ftp
sites, and each time it hangs at a random point. It always hangs
after it starts to transfer a file, but before anything has actually
been received. ie. the progress bar shows up, and Alt-F4 shows a
message saying "transferring...". However, the size of the file (seen
from Alt-F2 in the shell) remains 0. I typically wait for 10min or
more and it's stuck. Does anyone know if this is a bug or just a
problem with the ftp server? Does anyone have a reliable ftp server
to recommend?
Thanks
Howard
