PS: Save a copy of your corrupted file in a safe location before you start rsync. If rsync is interrupted before completion, it will replace your old file with the partially completed new file, but note the "partially completed" -- the partially completed file might be only a small portion of the iso and you may be better off restarting rsync on the original file than continuing rsync from where it left off. (In the absence of a corrupted file to work with, rsync defaults to pretty much a "straight" ftp type download.) Randy Kramer
Lieven, If you find a noncorrupted CD2 image, you might be able to rsync it instead of redownloading the whole thing. I wrote some notes when I used it to correct a MandrakeFreq download (for Mandrake 7.2) -- see: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/edit/Test/RsyncingALargeFile It worked well for me after I got through the learning curve. (The notes are pretty bad -- I recorded them while I was learning and had some problems. I believe the most recent notes are on the top half of the page. (I hurriedly translated these from swiki markup to twiki markup today, I never did a proper edit of the notes for content and readability. If you try rsync and have any comments about the notes, please let me know (or change the notes yourself -- that's why wikis exist). Hope this helps, Randy Kramer Lieven Van Acker wrote: > > ftp.nluug.nl has a corrupted CD2 iso-image! > > Right, 1,5GB wasted bandwidth: 2th download resulted in same md5sum (wrong > one), so I suppose their Image is corrupted.
