Topic: Download of live ISO continually stalls

While attempting to download the ISO at https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gpart … amd64.iso, I am finding I have to re-start the process repeatedly.   I've tried everything from clearing cookies, restarting the browser, re-setting my Internet connection, rebooting the system, unplugging my computer from the wall outlet, and finally, rebooting every piece of equipment within 3000 feet.   J/K, but I am really getting frustrated with this.

I am not experiencing this problem with any other sites (except for Youtube, but that has been a problem for months now).  So it could be a problem with sourceforge.   At any rate, I am unable to successfully download the image, even after trying for about the last 2 days, restarting the download every few minutes.

Never mind.  Switching from firefox-esr to recent chromium seems to solve the problem (didn't think of this earlier, sorry).   But hopefully this can help someone else.

Re: Download of live ISO continually stalls

Using the command line to do the download may be simpler, avoiding to depend on any browser.
Commands like: wget of curl would normally do the job with no problem.
Example:

$ wget https://downloads.sourceforge.net/gpart … -amd64.iso
