[CentOS] iso burn

[Cliff Pratt]

Rejy, for the record, I've downloaded many ISOs and other large files using
my browser (Chrome) for many years. While years ago it was problematic to
use the browser to download large files, it seems to me that that is not so
these days. Of course if you have a very slow or bad connection, it may not
work, and this is where download tools come into their own. But I think
that for most people, browsers will work OK. The real advantage of the
download tools is that a transfer is usually restartable and that is not
always possible with a browser download.

Cheers,

Cliff
