Well, that gave me a laugh:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2             487M  412M   51M  90% /
/dev/sda1              99M   34M   60M  37% /boot
/dev/shm             1010M     0 1010M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda3             8.1G  4.3G  3.4G  57% /home
/dev/sda8             487M   11M  451M   3% /tmp
/dev/sda5             4.8G  1.9G  2.6G  43% /usr
/dev/sda7             965M  136M  780M  15% /var
/dev/sda9             7.8G  7.4G   41M 100% /home/John/work
/dev/sda10            7.8G  7.4G   55M 100% /home/John/audio
/dev/sda11            7.8G  778M  6.7G  11% /home/John/oldWork

Part of the rationale behind the 7.8G thing is it's supposed to be a
good thing if your partitions fit on a backup medium, in this case, a
DVD.

I clearly need to shift some 'work' to oldWork, and dump some audio
stuff, but the 90% usages of root worries me.

Anyone got a mental link from this to my download problems?
