The iso of Ubuntu 10.10 that I got at the meeting on Sunday must have had some errors, or maybe the message saying copying the iso was complete was in error (Ext4). Anyway, when I burned the file, it failed to boot all the way and opening the file showed there was no way it took up 600+ Megs.
So, I decided to download a torrent of it and burn that. Which I did, and it contained Zero bytes inside a 630+ Meg file. At first I thought the CD burner might have failed, and burned another. No luck, still zero bytes. I decided to just burn a jpg to a cd to check it-- and that worked fine. This leads me to a poser. Does anyone know if it's possible to seed errors via a torrent so that nothing gets transferred? I'm just not sure what's going on here, whether it's deliberate error seeding or just some random accident. I know I did disconnect once. Then I had to pause downloading for it to continue again. And I suppose that could have been the cause. -- Central West End Linux Users Group (via Google Groups) Main page: http://www.cwelug.org To post: [email protected] To subscribe: [email protected] To unsubscribe: [email protected] More options: http://groups.google.com/group/cwelug
