The server is arbitrarily cutting off the transfers. I tried about 8 times tonight and got a different size every time. I'm now trying again with the .bz2 from last night, and fresh copies of the others. All files have the exact size penguinbait indicated, but then they were the correct size last night, when it would never install. I checked the sizes at least 3 times last night, and again repeatedly tonight. All the files I have are the exact size, to the byte, that penguinbait said they should be on the first page of the thread. Tonight, though, the .bz2 file is impossible to download.

Yes, It appears that the single easiest way to make this install easier would be to make the downloads more reliable somehow. I am only getting about half the file size except for the Kdesup-3.5.8.deb file which has been accurate.

Could we possibly make this into a torrent? I want to try this over the weekend. Thanks!

Beautiful! Had in fact to reinstall OS, since I was mistake in order - but it is worth! Thanks penguinbait !!!

@jonmle, had the same problem last night, every time different size. At the end, I decided to save files using firefox on my notebook, transfered files to sdhc (as someone already mentioned in this topic), and then installed kde.

Opened ticket with hosting company, which my account is 14days old and has served 100GB already, but not even close to my restriction, so either they fix this or I cancel and move, which is a pain, even after only two weeks.

We'll see please be patient

Please everyone go beatup my site, download those files, so it will happen when my hosting company is doing testing

Great penguinbait

please j have problem like 810 j dl your file in mmc1 but after 8-9 min 810 say to me that can't install file.............where is my error???

thank's for your best contribute for your work and your patience and excuseme for my bad english

Grazie mille Ciao

Penguinbait, alas it is too late. I've already successfully downloaded the files and installed KDE!

This is simply AWEsome! BRAVO!

First of all, it was really quite simple to download and install the files. I did have an incomplete file at first, but the size comparison made it easy to see what was wrong and I downloaded it to my PC then moved it to my N810. Install was a snap after that.

Since I've never seen KDE until now it was (and will continue to be) quite a learning experience...I was up quite late last nite but this is just the sort of thing I love to do. Puts me in the target demographic I guess!

Next I want to thank you for patiently monitoring this thread and helping us out with the kinks. I really do appreciate your personal effort and hope there is some way I can contribute to the cause, so to speak. Do you have a donation mechanism? Or should I just write your name on a $20 and put it in the mail?

Finally I have one question....possible bug? I noticed that my usb host mode script does not seem to be working post-KDE. I have commands to switch modes set up in osso-status-bar and they were working just prior to the KDE install. Now, alas, nothing happens when I plug a usb drive into my N810. When I plug it into a PC, I get the 'Memory card in use...' pop-up error message, though I am able to see the files on the PC. You mentioned editing the sudoers file, I believe. Might there be
something here I've done, or more likely, need to re-do, like re-install the scripts? Thanks again for your good work, kind sir!

Can anyone verify if they recieved short read on the files from a PC or only from the tablet?
