Subject: Bittorrent Fedora Core 2 MD5 failures?
Head's up to anyone considering using bittorrent to download FC2. After 48 hours of happy up- and down-loading, I have disks 1 - 4 failing the MD5 test, although the rescue disk appears to be okay <g>.
I was hoping that it might just be a problem like a padded-out packet, but I haven't seen this happen before with an identical setup: I use an old W2K box running the bittorrent GUI and then ftp the resultant files off that box. But booting from the CDs and running the linux mediacheck resulted in "FAIL" messages for the four disks.
Anyone got suggestions for an ISO repair kit? Or am I SOL?
