buildroot problem

Ok, you can tell by my name that I'm new to this, so please understand if any "errors & warnings"

I am trying to build rootfs image for at91sam9260 controller, for which I'm using buildroot. The problem is that it is not able to download the package "ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg//jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz". And on top of that, I'm also not able to download it manually. It is showing some authentication requirement. I have googled for this without any solid results. Pretty sure I'll find an answer here though.

$uname -a

Linux tri-desktop 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux

... if this helps.

If anyone has encountered this, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

Put in anonymous as the user, and your email address as the password.

where do i do this ?
From the terminal: `wget --ftp-user=anonymous [email protected] ftp://ftp.uu.net/graphics/jpeg//jpegsrc.v6b.tar.gz ` should work if Ignacrio is right, but uu.net did not seem to accept this when I tried it...

Normally I'd say "in your browser", but you've stated that putting the file in the appropriate location didn't work. My next step would be to modify the URL in the appropriate config file, changing it to `ftp://anonymous@myusername%40mydomainname:ftp.uu.net/...`.

Here is an alternative place to get the software - I'd just get it from here instead should be the same thing as that of the ftp.uu.net site.
