Everything should be fine with this mirror.
Marcel, All,
I am now thoroughly confused regarding why I am not getting the correct
checksum when I download to my laptop. Is there any reason one can think of
(other than a failing drive -- i.e. disk geometry, etc...) that would cause the
reporting of an incorrect checksum? The reason I ask is on my first download
from www.gtlib.gatech.edu I received a checksum of:
31fa61afd67cbd88c91f97d7d04244a1
I then downloaded the ISO from mirrors.gigenet.com to my server and received
the correct checksum:
3d6a54886230649a049a9d431e03bbba archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso
To correct the copy on my laptop, I then deleted the original download and
rsync'ed the good copy from my server (via wifi):
rsync -uav nirvana:~/arch/iso/archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso .
Strangely, the checksum is still not correct:
723f6bab8b950ef59a689ff90a5ec82d archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso
I repeated the rm/rsync again and while the size reported is the exact
correct number of bytes, the checksum is again wrong:
2832de308651f77df753b5a5977431c0 archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso
Is there anything other than hardware that could account for this? The drive
in the laptop is a WDC WD7500BPVX-22JC3T0 and smartctl tests all report "No
Errors Logged", so I'm a bit stumped?
