I have been trying to donwload the SM6.0.1 dvd and at this site(http://mirror.cs.vt.edu/pub/MEPIS/) it says the dvd is like 16 million TB,does anyone know what is going on,will i get to download the dvd if i try,or will it just keep download the whole 16 million TB's,I am hoping it will stop when the dvd size has been reached,but I want another opinion fron here. Anyone noticed this other than me?

PS- It says the right size at the above link but when i use kget to download it, it says the size is 16 million TB's!

Download it.

It's not going to download the whole 16 mil TB. It just has an unknown file size. So whatever your using just interprets that as HUGE. But it's DEF less than 4.7 GB b/c it fits on a DVD.

I don't see the problem at all. The Index on that site shows a size of 4093 MB.

That's incorrect on my machine. All it says is unknown file size. There must be a glitch with the software you're using.
