Failed ftp

[Nino Ivanov]

Thank you very much for your suggestions.

I succeeded in IE7, by not entering anything in the box. I entered:

ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/

Then, I clicked my way to the ISO-IMAGES directory. On the way it asked me
again with a login box. I tried with checking the box, but it did not work.
So I changed Anonymous to anonymous. I tried with the Microsoft-password
ieuser at microsoft.com, and it worked. However, on a repeated try, anonymous
with my own niivanov at gmx.net as password would not work.

Firefox, however, would fail, no matter what I do.

Right now I am downloading disk1-kde. I don't know if it is important, but I
am using the net from my dorm, and there everything goes through some
central machine. Is this relevant? Till now, all was just fine...

Looks like both were posted.   Why would you think it failed?
