Subject: problems with your site

Platform: WindowsNT/2000/XP
grass binary for platform: Downloaded precompiled Binaries

The website keeps giving me a "download incomplete" error message--after 98% of grass is downloaded (and yes, I was connected to the internet still) What is wrong with your server? you really ought to offer a cd or something. I'm trying to download for the third time now--what a pain in the ass!

I take it you mean you are trying to download the 3rd party Cygwin
binaries from http://geni.ath.cx/grass.html ?

As they produce and host those binaries, you'll have to ask them.

maybe try resume download instead of starting from zero each time?

e.g. using the "wget" program in continue mode:

wget --continue http://www.example.com/file.zip

you really ought to offer a cd or something.

someone does, see:
