Hi all,
I have tried several times to download the free surfer software, and have thus far failed to do so because the download stalls at around 800mB into the file download. Are you able to advise as to how I might overcome this problem. Specifically I have tried to download both the Apple intel i686 and tiger file. I have been unsuccessful in attempts to download it using a web-browser, a ftp client, and through the terminal command line.
I hope to be able to use the software to generate the surface of the brain of a sheep for which we have CT and MIR scan data for an FE model of impact and injury.
Thankyou Jeffrey Dutschke
Hi Jeffrey,
what does it say when it fails? Are you sure you have enough disk space free to save to?

Hi guys,
Thanks for your help, I think perhaps I was being timed out by the server (It seems to be an abnormally slow connection compared with the speeds I would expect). I seemed to have overcome the problem by downloading a new ftp download program that allows me to resume the download. (I have just got the first file off the server in the last couple of minutes).
Thanks for you offers off assistance, and apologies for asking for help a couple of hours too early, I look forward to being able to utilize the software.

no problem, just glad you came up with a workaround. Bruce On Fri, 10 Aug 2007, Jeffrey Dutschke wrote:

Jeffrey,
Did the failures occur within a particular period of time, or were downloads attempted on different days? Its possible that our servers may have been busy.
The distribution is about 1.8GB in total (and 3.5GB after decompression).
Does it always fail at around 800MB?
Sorry I dont have any suggestions. If you have an ftp server to which I can upload, that is a possibility.
