It's strange though that he gets different sha256 for each download even if the problem should be in sha256sum?
I did download the file with Wget v1.12 on Ubuntu and got the same sha256sum as the one from the CHECKSUM file. So I did calculate the md5 so that JD can check that aswell: *henrik@anonymous:~$* sha256sum Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso af7f172962ab47748914edb7c4d30565d23b4cf21f3bc4b7e3cd770b384d9a75 Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso *henrik@anonymous:~$* md5sum Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso 0d64ab6b1b800827a9c83d95395b3da0 Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso /HH 2012/3/19 Paul Wratt <[email protected]> > you should be using at least the last know stable version 1.12 but > that is still at least 5 years old > 1.13 versions are from within the last 12+months > > but I have a feeling that the sha256sum you are using is not right, > verify against the md5 (maybe google for it) > > Paul > > On Mon, Mar 19, 2012 at 11:24 AM, JD <[email protected]> wrote: > > When using wget with the -c option, it does recover and resume the > download > > after network failures.
