I downloaded f13 alpha x86_64 dvd via bittorrent a few days ago, and just now got around to verifying the sig (it was OK) and doing the sha256sum -c check of the checksum.
The checksum check failed :-(.
I've removed it, and I'm trying again, but just wondered if anyone else had this problem? I thought bittorrent was checksumming chunks as it goes and this sort of thing shouldn't happen.
Tom,
You're right. It shouldn't. But if it happens again, DON'T remove it.
From the directory the broken .iso file is in, run this long rsync
command to repair the damaged image in a few minutes:
rsync -avxzHP rsync://download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora-linux-releases/test/13-Alpha/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-13-Alpha-x86_64-DVD.iso .
Don't forget the trailing space-dot.
