According to the TOP command I did not notice any process using too much CPU or memory so I think it comes from the Hard drive being saturated (particularly the led of the hardrive stayed always on during the file tranfer). Hardware : IBM 14Go on HPT366 controller. The downloaded file was written on a mounted dos partition of the same hard drive. What should I do to avoid this problem ?
