At least for the one I downloaded.

Thanks, Mark

Don't bookmark exact directory paths as they will change.

Sorry Ive been away (birthday celebrations lol). This seems to be a big problem, I would really like downloading to be easy, especially for windows users, however Marks mirror will be a real help as in my experience puppy seems to be recommended. I want this to be the most intuative puppy for people making the trip over and I suspect that this will be through someone who already runs linux recommending it.

I have an account at sourceforge that I set up for downloading the currency software? Would that work? I keep losing my other websites for a day because servages daily quota gets used very quickly. Any more suggestions?

Thanks for that dragonfly, I cant seem to find a contact (the about page is a dead link). I think I will purchase a Subscription at megaupload.com.

cb88, is there a way around the flash issue? Would turning off updates work? Possibly I could modify the startup script to re-install flash at every boot, Im sure this would not add more than a few seconds to boot. Im also going to try the latest flashplayer from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html . Perhaps they will have fixed some of the issues since the puppy version of flash9 came out, although they dont seem to have the greatest respect for linux/Open Source.

Thanks Chris, that is a relief, are websites (including scunnymoney.com, ecomoney.co.uk etc) have gone down three times because it is overloaded with the ecopup downloads.

Hi, am getting the following when trying this link
Not Found
The requested URL was not found on this server.

Many thanks

[cthisbear]

Yes unfortunately it failed downloading overnight.

It must be a Starwars thing.

puppy has no shortage of utilities that can resume broken dloads. with moz browsers you can use downthemall or flashgot.. you can set up flashgot to use curl, aria or d4x as the dloader. on the commandline you can use curl, wget or aria2. for standalone gui dloaders you can use aria, d4x or urlgfe.

[ecomoney]

I use an extention in firefox called download them all which will also resume.

[veronicathecow]

Hi, thanks for help the download went just fine this morning (500k/s) and all files appeared to be there.
Will be trying later
Cheers
Tony

Hi Chris,

I already mirror some puppylinux isos at

http://os.cqu.edu.au/pub/iso/puppylinux

but I am willing to add some more puppylinux distribution versions.
I had a quick look at

http://puppyisos.org

and I will download some of these.

On another note I wonder why

http://ftp.aarnet.edu.au

does not mirror more Australian distributions.
I was able some years ago to get them to mirror ADIOS
but since I moved to CQU they have not mirrored any new version of ADIOS for me.

I will put in a request to AARNET again next week for them to mirror ADIOS and at the same time I will ask them to mirror PuppyLinux.

regards Neville

Hi Ecomoney, this is indeed an excellent Puppy. A couple of bugs have appeared though (MD5 was okay)
The desktop icons for write, spreadsheet dont work they just bring up the little box saying what is happening, that then goes away and that is it.
The other thing is I feel that the desktop is rather cluttered with games (don't mean to sound negative on such great work)
Many many thanks
Tony
