Hmm, so you checked the file with MD5.exe before burning? And it doesn’t match the published value (which is the same as what I have, BTW)? Bittorrent normally should correct any errors.
Have you tried a different MD5 program to get a second opinion? Are the results consistent between the two programs? Are the results consistent between different download methods?
The one I use is ‘md5sum.exe’ which is the first I get from Google when
I search for the same. It’s available, as I recall, from etree.org .
Good luck.

Thanks very much for your help.
Re:
512c8346b0f8eb35f28c4eb96454d391 MD5sum
openSUSE-11.0-DVD-x86_64.iso
using MD5.exe (MD5sum)
Yes, using MD5sum the values don’t match. I also downloaded MD5Deep but it is command line and I have no idea how to use it. I’m just afraid to burn and trash another DVD with the ISO using my ImgBurn.
I never got the download completed with BitTorrent as it was like a full day and extremely slow. I had it set to check for errors. The WimXP download went extremely slow too so I ended up using a download manager. I have high speed DSL and the servers must really be busy or something.
Incidentally I never have a problem burning ISOs.
I guess I could try spending another full day downloading with BitTorrent again. Then again version 11 is being upgraded in a week or so.
I checked the downloaded ISO file with MD5sum and not the DVD itself. Couldn’t do that. However the installation of the DVD on my blank hard drive halted as “broken”.
This will be my fifth try with 2 completions. Extremely slow, one day 3 hours at <5kb/s. There must be a better way folks. I might give up and try something else or buy the Open SUSE DVD. I have 3MB DSL.
You can even load a .iso downloaded via http in to your torrent client, add the torrent first then dump the full .iso in to the torrent download directory, make sure the name is identical to the torrent file .iso
then force re-check
NB* I find the torrents come down in about 2hrs on my connection
…
Yes, thanks. I’m going to stop the torrent download right now and maybe try for the Live CD if the traffic is lighter. I’m thinking though that when 11.1 comes out downloading will be even slower. The only option for me might be to have it shipped somehow but I haven’t checked into that.
I’ll play around with Mandriva in the meantime but watch the forum posts here.
Well it could well be that bittorrent will be faster when 11.1 comes out, once enough seeders are in the pool. It could be that 11.0 is slow simply because hardly anybody is seeding the torrent anymore, with 11.1 imminent.
I might try that but if the full .iso is corrupted wouldn’t that have an effect or would it just use the good sections? I’m now getting an average of 280kb/s with Bittorrent right now with about a 4hr. ETA so will let it run.
My 5 1/2 hour new download just finished via BitTorrent and once again the the MD5 checksum does not match.
Thanks to everybody who offered their help but I am going to have to give up on Open SUSE. Strange but I’ve probably downloaded and burned at least 8 other distros with no problems. Maybe it just wasn’t meant to be with Open SUSE.
Command-line md5sum utilities (you didn’t use the one I suggested, I
see) is usually trivial to use. Drop the utility in \windows\system32
and then just run it specifying the file you want to check as a parameter:
If you download this and get any other md5sum then there is something
wrong with how you are doing the download. There are other threads in
here on utilities others have used that failed so you may want to make
sure you have a utility that works well with large (> 2 GB) files. This
specifically excludes internet explorer from others’ experiences.
Good luck.

From looking as k3b I need a linux distro installed to use it. I’ve been using ImgBurn 2.4.2.0. I have downloaded and used several MD5 checksum utilities. Yesterday I downloaded yet another Open SUSE with BitTorrent and all these utilities show no match. I am using the correct value and file:
512c8346b0f8eb35f28c4eb96454d391
openSUSE-11.0-DVD-x86_64.iso
No other problems at all with other distros, just Open SUSE.
I suppose I should point out that if the md5sum checksum you are getting
from your ISOs is the one you keep posting then it is the correct one.
I assumed you were just posting what it should be but the one you posted
below, and the one I posted earlier, match. This means the files are
(99.999999% likely) exactly the same. If this is the case then there is
a problem with the software you are using to do the burn. Often a valid
ISO will not burn properly (or well enough at least) for the install to
complete because of the burn speed. Try burning as slowly as your
software/hardware will let you and give that a shot.
Good luck.

I have another thought, as bittorrent client checks the file then there must be another problem. I understand You download it on Windows OS, i recommend using chkdsk to check the partition on which You download the file. The disk might have bad sectors which You might need to find. Hope it helped:)??
P.S. By the way!! Is Your partition formatted with FAT32 or NTFS ?? FAT32 can’t have files bigger than 4GB, always remember that!! Your bittorrent client might not realize that and tries to download it anyway.
