want to have yellow dog 6.1 on ps3...

[ibanezrocker06]

.. but my laptop get ways too hot when turned on for a long time, and my dsl internet isnt as good as it used to be. ( I may have to call the ISP about that.) But 3.7 gigs is alot to download, and I'm using firefox 3 which is supposed to let you pause and resume downloads but everytime I try to resume the download it says it cant find the source or something like that, then it'll start the download at the beginning. I wouldn't mind paying for the physical DVD but I no longer have a credit or debit card to get it off the website. Do I have any other options? Thx.

You might want to try a download manager such as getright, goZilla, or others. In any case, be sure to check the sha1sum on your .iso as described in the PS3 subforum here (near bottom of post) after you've finished downloading:

Or you might try contacting Fixstars to see if you can arrange a different method of payment:

I just sent an e-mail asking if I can just send a money order. They have 2 options, one package with the install and source dvd ($99.99) or just the source dvd ($49.99) I do not need the install dvd right, or will I need both DVD's ?

Actually, either one would include an install and source dvd. The difference in price is that you get "6 months Install Support, YDL.net Enhanced account. Auto-renews at $30 per 6 months" with the $99.95 package. "YDL.net enhanced account" means "access to the most current YDL version, source code, and private yum repository... personal email, blog" ...

So what you're looking for is the $49.95 YDL DVD package which doesn't include install support or YDL.net.
