hello, I am new to linux of any kind. I am still on a windows system (8.1 regrettably). I am in the process of downloading a few different distros to see what I like.
So far a lot points me to Suse but I am having a bit of a problem downloading the iso. What makes this problem piculiar is that I have already successfully downloaded and checksumed a DVD of ubantu and mint with Downloadthemall! but I am having two major problems with getting opensuse.
First problem is when I try to Download from the primary page the checksums don't match.
Other problem is when I try to use the mirrors from the directory page it will download but not finalize just stops at 100%. When I download from mirror it says its a DTAPART file not and iso, I don't think that should be happening.
So why is it I can get other distros to work, but not the one I would really like to try out? It's been really frustrating.
Any chance I could use the demo of ubantu or duel boot to use this aria app I keep reading about to verify and download it? Seems like it may be a little more advance since I have no linux background to speak of. worth a shot?
