failed download in Mozilla Firefox (error)

[FastMady123]

When I download, sometimes I get this message: "/home/jet/Desktop/os200805.iso.part could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.

Try again later, or contact the server administrator.". What is that error message means? Sometimes I don't get the error message. I get that message when I'm downloading OpenSolaris from http://dlc.sun.com/osol/opensolaris/...5/os200805.iso. What should I do to fix this error?

Do you have NoScript or AdBlock added to Firefox? You may need to allow scripts to be run on certain sites.
You might want to install a linux download manager gui. They usually come with a "resume download" feature built in. There are quite a few; many are available through Synaptic. I use kget and gwget.

Have you tried downloading it from somewhere else because the error says "the source file cannot be read".

If everything else downloads ok the problem must be with the file or location you are downloading from. Or even protocol/port related.
