“Short write” error message with wget

wget

I got the following error when trying to pull down a 300 MB ISO. It appears to pull down 25 MB then stop. Any idea what's going on here?

~ # wget http://centos.mbni.med.umich.edu/..../CentOS-6.2-x86_64-netinstall.iso

Old question but hey, no man pages and no df -i option while dling an ISO file.... sounds to me just like it's VMWare ESXi. In which case, all of your storage space will be assigned to your /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ folder. This command will put the ISO where you need it for adding new VMs.

cd /vmfs/volumes/datastore1/ && wget http://centos.mbni.med.umich.edu/..../CentOS-6.2-x86_64-netinstall.iso
