I just spent 3 hours D/L 'n the mini torrent and the md5sums didn't match I am beginning to think that 10.1 will be my last Mandrake
By their very nature, torrents are _supposed_ to verify the file as it is received. You can witness this if you restart the torrent, it will verify what you've already d/l'd before resuming. BUT, CD6 of the 6CD set failed md5sum for me. So I torrented the CD5-CD6 iso's which checked. I deleted the bad CD6 iso an 'mv'd the new one into it's place, re-ran md5sum -c, and all 6 iso 's checked! I d/l torrents on the CL, so it wasn't a GUI that messed up, or a bad md5sum file. I have no idea how one of six iso's in a torrent could be bad (?)
FWIW, I'll most likely continue uploading (20KB/s) for a week, an I encourage y'all with complete an verified torrents to do the same. If you, like me just disabled your firewall while d/l'g the torrent, you can restart your firewall while seeding. It will not affect the upload rate.
