"About the problems ftp'ing FC3 images: Bittorrent is your friend. You may not be able to contribute back as much as you downloaded, but every gigabyte of bandwidth helps."
I tried Bittorrent first on Linux without success. The disks would not boot correctly. It is certainly possible that I made a mistake in creating the disks but wanted to use tried and true FTP to make sure I had decent files. It appears that the images I received from Limestone are perfect. Now on to the installation!
Apart from that is impossible since BitTorrent checks SHA1 hashes every 1MB and also for every file. Either the BitTorrent images are faulty or you have burnt them incorrectly.
BitTorrent will never say file complete if it does not match checksums, simple as that.

This is a good thing to know! I'll give it a shot for my next download. I have to determine if I am actually using a decent version of Bittorrent as well. There seems to be a number of them out there.

My Bittorrent images of four FC3test2 binary CD-ROMs worked perfectly. [mediacheck is broken due to a kernel bug: reading is unreliable near EOF https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=131858 , but I checked by hand using dd and cmp] You have to wait until bittorrent says it is completely finished with _everything_, before using the separate files _at_all_! It is quite normal for a random small piece of each file to be missing until the last few seconds of the entire set of files.
Bittorrent has always worked for me. I haven't used it lately because I need to change my firewall code to point to a different destination machine for the Bittorrent ports, but when I've used it in the past, it has been great. I want
It is most likely that you made a mistake in burning your CDs. I think most everyone has. I've tossed my fair share of bad CDs too.

I have used bittorrent for every FC iso I have downloaded. (Which has been more than five so far.)
I have yet to get a bad iso. Every one I have downloaded has had an MD5sum file to verify the iso before burning.
md5sum -c MD5SUM
is your friend.
It may be your burning software or some other factor.
I'm pretty sure it is the burning software. I'm using the command line cdrecord now with some success. I will also confirm the MD5sum next time.

The cd verify is broken for IDE. You must use ide-scsi, 2.4 kernels or scsi to verify CD MD5sums reliably.
This doesn't sound good. Is it a general problem for reading large files or just for md5sum? Where can I get more info on this?

What command line options are you using?
I have tried getting it to work on my dvd burner and I get an odd scsi error and a message about not being able to open another session. Growisofs burns a little bit and then stops.

I've been using Linux varities off and on since Slackware 0.99 (mostly as a server).
It is only lately that I have converted my workstation over to Linux completely. I finally felt that I could get everything I needed.
I was proven right today. I've just installed FC3. I have not done anything with respect to configuration except for what is needed for installation and update.
I hooked up my Sony DSC-P52 (PTP Mode) to the USB port and the import tool automatically loaded. It does not even do that on the "You Know What" operating system.
I have to figure out why k3b burned me with the burning. Excuse the pun. Still better than the trouble I had with Nero and my DVD Burner (LG).
