Probably connected with tracker troubles. Did you try "Direct link" download? It should work flawlessly.

The torrent is hosted on linuxtracker.org, which currently seems to have some network issues. But you should be able to directly download the DVD:
http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/dl.p ... 1-dvd-i586
Do you get an error message there, or what's the problem? What mirror does it choose for you?

i tried your direct download doctor and now it is working.

thank u.

ok, i just downloaded the dvd for 32 bit systems.
now i am being warned by k3b that size of the file will be 3.3 gigs.

does anybody know if the actually size 3.3 or 3.7

ok, now i got another finished message and the dvd will be 3.7 gigs.

thanks

i dont know why i got two different messages but all is well.

Why don't you just compare the md5sum of your downloaded image to then one shown on the website, which can be done in k3b before starting the burn process?
