I need some help. Jay West has kindly posted the file

"rt11freewarev2.iso.gz" is about 171 Mbytes in size. It is my
understanding that
the full size file "rt11freewarev2.iso" is exactly 671,088,640 bytes in
size which
is the CD for the RT11 Freeware CD produced by Tim Shoppa. However,
when
the download of the "rt11freewarev2.iso.gz" file is complete, I end up
with a file

I am using Windows 98 SE/Netscape 4.78 and the
normal WinZip in case

therein lies the problem.
I've had this problem with netscape for large downloads. Something
gets out of sync. Use wget instead for downloading, and gzip for
decompressing; they're both available for win32. Contact me off the
list if you want win32 command line executables.

YIPPEE!!!!!! Long story!!!!
When I attempt to run wget, I receive the error response file:

Eventually, I somehow got the idea to try:
wget -b
http://www.classiccmp.org/PDP-11/RT-11/freeware-CDS/images/rt11freewarev2.i…
which is the address of the actual file rather than a pointer -
or at least I guess that is what is at the second location. In
any case, it finally WORKED and I was able to download
a file that was 180,333,547 bytes. It took about 30 minutes
at probably about 120 KBytes per second. Then I used WinZip
(actually I just clicked on the file name in Windows Explorer)
and the file "rt11freewarev2.iso" was extracted. YIPPEE!!!!!
If anyone wants a copy of the file: utils.zip - 327,236 bytes
contact either of us.
Sincerely yours,
