Did you check the MD5SUMs using the command: md5sum -c MD5SUM and are they the correct MD5SUM files? Someone on my local LUG slipped up that way, he'd downloaded the MD5SUMs file for Ubuntu 7.04 and was manually checking and comparing each file by hand (and using the command md5sum rather than md5sum -b I'll check the rest of my *Ubuntu downloads and report back if I get any errors or not.

When they don't match, the only alternative is to dump the download and start again, its possible (but unlikely) that someone's been tampering with the torrent. I'd reccomend downloading from Canonical's offical UK servers... never had any problems with them: http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/gutsy/ (http://gb.releases.ubuntu.com/ for dapper/edgy/fiesty/gutsy) HTH, Kirrus -- Blog: www.kirrus.co.uk RPGs: Captain Senaris Vlenn, CO, USS Sarek Lt Aieron Peters, XO DS5 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
[ubuntu-uk] 7.10 and md5sums
I downloaded via torrents most of the ubuntu family as soon as they were available. I am now checking md5 sum information on various of the downloads, and the numbers are not coming good. I tried burning regardless on xubuntu alternate i386, and chose 'check cd for defects' and nothing happened. I have to go now to do an install - which I will make a 7.04 install (!) and I can do more checks later. Has anyone else had questions about md5 sums etc recently? -- alan cocks Kubuntu user#10391 -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
