This approach is especially useful if your Internet connection is unstable: in that case, you browser might fail to download the whole file, and an attempt to resume the interrupted download process fails because the download link contains an authentication key which is only valid for a short time.
Specialized applications such as curl can, however, be used to resume interrupted download attempts from the Customer Portal, which means that you need not download the whole file again and thus you save your time and bandwidth consumption.
Using curl to Download Installation Media Make sure the curl package is installed by running the following command as root:.
If your Linux distribution does not use yum , or if you do not use Linux at all, download the most appropriate software package from the curl web site. Open a terminal window, enter a suitable directory, and type the following command:. Replace filename. This is important because the download link in the Customer Portal contains extra characters which curl would otherwise use in the downloaded file name, too. Finally, use another single quotation mark after the last parameter, and press Enter to run the command and start transferring the ISO image.
The single quotation marks prevent the command line interpreter from misinterpreting any special characters that might be included in the download link. Example 2. Create a free website or blog at WordPress. Share this: Twitter Facebook.
