Error downloading ffmpgX. Help?

[tuftedpuffin]

Hi,

I have tried three times now to download this, and a second before the file is all here, it says that the connection was reset by peer. Any idea why it is doing this?? Thanks.

Download works for me...
Perhaps try a while later, or with another browser?

Same error downloading ffmpgx.
Actual download information is: ffmpegX.dmg 30.6 of 30.6 MB--POSIX error: Connection reset by peer.
From site: ftp://ftp2.ffmpegx.com/ffmpegx/ffmpegX.dmg

What did you do to get past this endless download?
thank you in advance.

update: I used a different browser Firefox and it downloaded in half the time.

Is your system up-to-date (10.4.10)? Is Safari up-to-date (3.0.3)? [Maybe it's something that has recently been fixed.] Is this error unique to this ~30 MB download? Hardline or Airport?

You may try this, for a possibly different, more successful, result:
• Copy the text with URL from your previous post to TextEdit in RTF mode. The link should still be clickable. Click it to let the Finder handle the download. You will be presented with a Save As dialog box for download location.
• Open Terminal.app. Type:

curl -O ftp://ftp2.ffmpegx.com/ffmpegx/ffmpegX.dmg

The .dmg should end up in your Home folder.

I've tried 3 browsers, 2 ftp clients and the 2 methods mentioned above, and every time without error.
