No you didn't. Really. There is no way to go and "download #65".
There is no such thing as "OpenBSD #65".
What you most probably did is you downloaded current; specifically,
5.0-current that was built on Nov 3, as your subject line suggests;
which happened to be the 65th build, which is a number that doesn't
mean shit except when tracking down exactly which build along the
way introduced exactly which functionality (or bug).

Again: "shipped out"? What do you even mean by that? Every build
of OpenBSD is "shipped out". You mean RELEASE, right? (Except
you still don't know what a release is.)
So tell me: where exactly on the main page of www.openbsd.org
did you get the impression that what you download from the
"snapshots" directory (because that is, and nowhere else,
is where you get the -current builds) is the 5.0 release?
No really: where? Give me a link, show me a quote saying
or at least suggesting that. You can't.
Meanwhile, see if you can grasp this link and quote:
http://www.openbsd.org/50.html (linked from the frontpage)
"Go to the pub/OpenBSD/5.0/ directory on one of the mirror sites."
Really. It says so, in RED LETTERS.

Besides the above, completely unambigous, simple instruction,
there is these four_fucking_lines at the very start of FAQ5.1
(which you haven't read):
There are three "flavors" of OpenBSD:
-release: The version of OpenBSD shipped every six months on CD.
-stable: Release, plus patches considered critical to security and reliability.
-current: Where new development work is presently being
done, and eventually, it will turn into the next release.
What on earth confuses you in that?
It's not that Nick Holland can't write.
You can't read, or cannot be bothered to.
What it boils down to is that you downloaded an install ISO
from "snapshots", instead of downloading an install ISO from "5.0",
not knowing what that means.
BTW, you are probably better off with the build you downloaded,
as 5.0-current #65 was built on Nov 3, while the 5.0-release was built
from code frozen at 8/2011 (you say). That's three months of development.

That's the expected thing, but you are actually one of the few who did that.

Yes; only after people explained it to you on the mailing list
did you realize that there is -release and there is -current,
and there is a directory containing each on the FTP mirrors,
and there is a different repository for the packages of each.
This is very carefully explained in the FAQ that you haven't read.

Such as "Go to the pub/OpenBSD/5.0/ directory on one of the mirror sites."?
No you haven't. Or you did, at 1am, when you wasn't actually conscious (which
happens to admins, but now you are blaming the excelent OpenBSD documentation
for it).

Their org. I am a user, like you. Very happy user,
like you are gonna be when you familiarize yourself with it.
