Hi, Troy
Thanks for your reply. I didn't use http cause it take long time and once disconnected the downloading file will be lost. I will try using other downloading soft like bt as Igor suggested.

Hi Carl,
I've never used flashget, so I am not positive about my answer, but some
people have had their download problems fixed simply by using http
instead of ftp.  So the first thing I would try would be to download from

http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/52/iso/
