I'm not usin a local mirror. A 'md5sum <filename>' produced
identical numbers from the d/l'd iso's on HDD compared visually.
After I burned to CDr, 'md5sum /dev/scd0' returned the same for all
three. scd0 is my burner, I always recheck the burned CDr. If the
9.2rc1.md5sums.asc had been properly prepared, 'md5sum -c
9.2rc1.md5sums.asc' would'a worked jus' fine.

Bittorrrent, either I don't understand or it sux. I reckon
continuing mirror problems are part of it. Maybe local problems
with M$ rampant viruses were too. Or both. Tho I suspect Mandrake's
got a part in it too. IE, sync'n with primary mirrors the others
feed from.
All I know is I don't fall for kiddie Winsux reviews on hardware.
Like buyin into a nForce* chipset boards to run Linux with. Other
than that, I'm slightly amused by those that do. An' think BT
doesn't suck. Or that Texas colloquialisms are suspect, an theirs
aren't. Had to say that ;)
