Until you get a proper MD5 or SHA hash result, don't worry about K3B. md5sums is faster. If they don't match and you can't get torrent to work, since you say its 85% complete, just get rsync to fix it (see the mirrors page for the rsync mirror, I go stright to the main site in Sweden). I've never used torrent since I'm on very slow and unreliable ppp dial-up. Rsync is quite nice at fixing problems. Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
