Debian 10.3 XFCE from torrent failed verification

[Jason Quinn]

To Whom It May Concern:

The "debian-live-10.3.0-amd64-xfce.iso.torrent" given in the directory

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/bt-hybrid/

downloads a file that fails verification using the MD5 and SHA sums. The
file has the same file size as that for the iso-hybrid directory at

https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/

So either A) the checksum files in the bt-hybrid directory need to be
corrected (note they have the same contents as those in the iso-hybrid
directory) or B) the file being downloaded by the torrent is NOT the
correct file.

Cheers,
Jason

Thanks Steve for the quick reply.

You are correct. My report appears to be a false alarm due to an incomplete
download.

Apologies for the inconvenience but thanks to the whole Debian Team for all
you do!

Cheers,
Jason
