I'm installing a new Debian 2.0 on my PC using the ftp method to
download it from ftp.mi.us.debian.org. During the download I got the
following error message:
> getting:
dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/interpreters/perl_5.004.04-6.deb
(3125884)
> FTP ERROR

(1641064/3125884)
As I understand it the first line tells me that I only got 1484820
bytes out of the 3125884. So why does the download restarts at byte
1641064 as the second line seems to indicate ?
Then it failed again and I had:
> FTP ERROR

> continue file:
dists/frozen/main/binary-i386/interpreters/perl_5.004.04-6.deb (at

(883324/3125884)
Did it restart from scratch ?
I finally managed to download the entire file but it is only 262680
bytes long. So what are the numbers displayed above ?
Does the ftp method support reget ?
