Where did you download from?

In general, anonymous FTP download sites use "anonymous" as the username while your email address as the password. If it does not let you go in, it is either a private distribution site that is for certain internal members only or its public download quota has exceeded.

If you don't have CD-writer (like I don't have one) or are on a slow connection, probably you may find it easier to install Debian Linux or FreeBSD, for example. You can download and prepare a few 1.44MB installation disks, which you use to bootup the install to complete downloading the rest of the files needed (so you don't need to download a large volume of files that you don't need before installation). But these flavours are not as beginner-friendly as RH, SuSE or Mandrake for example so you may want to see if some cheap Linux CDs can be purchased in your neighbourhood. Downloading an entire distribution on 56k can take you a lot of time (and thus $$$$).

I would not suggest using anything but real FTP clients, like WS FTP or Smart FTP for downloading of files. IMO they are more reliable.
