download problem

Im attempting to make my first linux box, but cannot manage to download the ISO. I've been trying to download it and it cuts out on me at approximately 150 megs .of 640, and so i lose it all and end up having to start again. Any suggestions or anyone know of any other sites I can download it from. Im trying to use Mandrake? cause i heard that it was the best for newbies.

IMO mandrake is the best for newbies, try a different mirror. also may want to get a download manager like download accelerator www.downloadaccelerator.com

As suggested try another mirror, preferably relatively local to you and with a half decent connection.
