actual File size (4.3 GB) on FTP server

This is on Ubuntu 9.04 (i686) with ext4 FS.

I am using gwget (GUI front-end to wget for GNOME) to download the openSUSE
11.2 M6 DVD ISO from
<http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.2-Milestone6/iso/>.

The file size reported at the FTP server is 4.3 GB [1]. But gwget shows the
Total Size as 313572 kB (313.572 MB).  [2]

Is there a problem with gwget that reports a wrong file size;  also any other
suggestions for large file d/l other than gwget ?

Is it a duplicate of #587689 ?

I have checked this bug following the same steps downloading a ISO of debian, and I have the same OS with ext4 Fs.

so, its working fine for me.

Jay,

Can you try to download another file of the same size or reproduce again your bug, because is working fine to me, and sadly your link: <http://ftp5.gwdg.de/pub/opensuse/distribution/11.2-Milestone6/iso/>.

is not working.

best,
