torrent downloads repeatedly fail checksum

view story

http://forums.fedoraforum.org – I'm trying to upgrade to F11, and I'm having trouble. I attempted to download the x86_64 DVD .iso image by bit torrent, and it seemed okay, but when I started the installation the DVD failed the initial integrity check. I tried a second time with another DVD and got the same result. I tried running md5sum on the .iso image, but the response did not match what was in the CHECKSUM file that came with the .iso image -- should it? I tried downloading a live DVD image for comparison and found the same result - the response to the md5sum command did not match what was listed in the CHECKSUM file. Should these checksums match, or am I comparing apples and oranges? I thought the bit torrent client was supposed to check the files, but I'm not sure about that. thanks, Bruce (HowTos)

[other] md5sum donot match 49 weeks 7 hours ago

I have tried to download lubuntu 12.04 alternate version twice. At first i downloaded using torrent but the md5sum did not match. then i tried direct downloading using Internet Download Manager but even this time the md5sum did not match. Would anybody tell me what should i do ? The exact version that i want to download is lubuntu-12.04-alternate-i386.iso :(:(

Hello,I maight not mention it, but I've never writen any code and I am not used to Linux administration.

Attention Suse download maintainers:

I have been downloading the 11.2 live cd all weekend (32 bit version) - and every time I've gotten a bad checksum. Also, the md5 hash link shows an md5 sum from the wrong file - i586, when the download is i686.

So there is a directory full of torrent files:

debian.iso.torrent fedora.iso.torrent

I can start downloading them with a:

rtorrent *.torrent

command, when the working directory is the same where the torrents are.

But. Every time when I start rtorrent in this way it calculates all the hashes..it takes looong time do to that and it's a cpu intensive thing.

If you need to check the file checksum integrity of your downloaded files, you can easily use the File Checksum Integrity Verifier 2.05. This software is used to calculate or check MD5 or SHA1 cryptographic hashes on a given file. This tool is running using DOS interface on Windows.

Unable to download 12.04 Desktop LTS ISO image.Because every time I download and check for md5 checksum, it is showing a new checksum. May I know the correct source to download the iso.

I'm confused about the whole MD5 checksum thing.

Allow me to explain what it is I am confused about.

I have MD5 text files that I've created in Windows and now that I'm using Linux (in this case Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 1) I am finding that I cannot check them without being told that there is a formatting error.

So I use md5sum (in terminal) to create a new MD5 file.

within 24h, f18 shall release. lets look at site: http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/

Fedora-18-i686-Live-Desktop.torrent Fedora 18 i686 Live Desktop 889.0MB Fedora-18-x86_64-Live-KDE.torrent Fedora 18 x86_64 Live KDE 831.0MB

f18live no long fit a cd(700m) image... while ubuntu1210 also do so. I cannot believe this. is cd-image(700m) is already outdate.?
