Hi, I'm trying out jigdo to retrieve a Debian 3.0r0 CD image set, and after quite a long download, I get a checksum error. Is there any way to fix this short of starting the whole process from scratch? (I really hope so).
I used http.us.debian.org to get the .jigdo file, and mirrors.kernel.org as the "Debian Mirror" site. Both are listed as "Push-Primary" mirrors on the Debian site ( http://www.debian.org/mirror/list-full ). I originally tried using http.us.debian.org for both, but this seemed to be very slow (perhaps this mirror restricts bandwidth or is simply very busy?). I also tried using mirrors.kernel.org for both, but it doesn't seem to have the jigdo files (or not in the same place anyway). I have downloaded other CD ISO images through my connection before, and they don't take this long, so the claim that jigdo is "faster" doesn't seem to hold true (though I can see that it might be a big help to the servers, which is sufficient justification for it). Basically, I'd like to ask if I'm doing this right -- is it okay (preferred? discouraged?) to use two different push-primary mirrors like this? Also, is the slow download simply to be expected, or the result of some error I'm making. Why would I get a bad checksum? Simply corrupted files, or is there a chance that I'm somehow getting the *wrong* files? Thanks for any advice you might be able to offer, Terry -- ------------------------------------------------------ Terry Hancock Anansi Spaceworks http://www.anansispaceworks.com ------------------------------------------------------ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
