Yes, it's perfectly fine. The data in a torrent file like this is just metadata about the ISO image - checksums, sizes etc. It doesn't need to be large. >Also : the iso you downloaded had a crc or checksum that matched the >one brought by the debian siteo n multiple iso's ? The only ISO that >had correct crc or sum were the nightly ones, the standard ISO's on >other parts of the debian site all brought me uncorrect checksums (I >didn't tried the netinstal ones).. I specifically tested the netinst here, as that was the torrent you mentioned in your original mail. I've just tested another torrent at random (http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/release/current/i386/bt-dvd/debian-12.11.0-i386-DVD-1.iso.torrent) and it also works just fine here. 2ab1adf02f9f3b2c090d7f50d153c2da3a854bfcd52f551341a2129fe3a2894b debian-12.11.0-i386-DVD-1.iso Could you check the checksums of the torrent files you have too? Something is broken here, but I don't think it's the torrent files that we're publishing . -- Steve McIntyre, Cambridge, UK.
