Downloading fails, temp directory/partition full?

Hello!

Im having a very irritating problem with downloading whatever on my server.
When i tryed to install gentoo 2006.0 everything went just fine until i was supposed to download the stage3 tar file. It always stopped at 78mb. I know I downloaded it to the right partition and all with enough space.
I ended up downloading another Gentoo version, this time 2005.1 with the stages on the cd.
Everything went well with the install from the CD and i have installed apache and some other things via "emerge". But now when i try to emerge something it stops at 8mb.
What is this? I have 64mb ram and p3 560mhz. swapspace 500mb and boot partition 100mb.
Its like its trying to download to a partition that fill up ??

Hope some knows what the problem could be because this is really irritating :/

pirus3210,

Plenty of space there.

When your download stops, are you still able to browse the web ?
That will show if a general network issue or not.

I can browse and do anything on the net. I can even emerge something else with a small download file.. Even if I delete the distfile and try to emerge it again the same thing happends at the exakt same place. Stage3.tar.bz2 stopped at 78mb and didnt go any further. There was something else I wanted to emerge that was 12mb that stopped at 8mb. So this is very strange. Guessing a hardware error?

pirus3210,

I would not rule out hardware yet but I think its unlikely - a few more things to try.

When you emerge fails during download, are you able to wget the rest of the file?
Since browsing works, your network is still ok.
The comamnd to try is
Code:
wget URL_of_file
what error message does this produce ?

Please post your
Code:
emerge --info
output too.

I aborted the download after 15mins of standstill. It would have said connectiod timed out..
Now.. if I delete the uncompleted stage3tarfile and try again it stopps at the exact same place.. And I can't resume from there. After it stopps; without removing the file - I can still browse and emerge something smaller with success. now what the - is this ? :) [/code]

pirus3210,

You only have a single useful mirror site in your
Code:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo"


In your /etc/make.conf comment out your entry and insert
Code:
GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://linux.rz.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/download/gentoo-mirror/\
                http://ftp.belnet.be/mirror/rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo/ \
                http://gentoo.inode.at/ \
                http://ftp.easynet.nl/mirror/gentoo/ \
                http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/gentoo/ \
                http://ds.thn.htu.se/linux/gento \

                http://ftp.rhnet.is/pub/gentoo/ \
                http://trumpetti.atm.tut.fi/gentoo/"
What happens now ?
If you are in the UK, you can leave that list if it works, otherwise
Code:
emerge mirrorselect
and get it to choose some local mirrors for you.

pirus3210,

Your lspci will tell you which one is right. Network cards that need the cp varient are very rare.

pirus3210,

Did you remove the faulty RAM or the good one ?

pirus3210,

You replaced the network card with another using the same kernel module or a different network card and different kernel module?

Its possibly some kernel options rather than faulty hardware.
