Wrong checksums for RC2-64 net install CD?

Running out of writable DVD’s I decided to give the net install CD a go. However the checksums found at the download site differ from what I get at the terminal, checked three downloads to be sure. I downloaded the metalink’s .meta4 file and the checksums there equals the ones I get at the terminal. So which are the correct ones?

I just checked. The checksums at the download page appear to be wrong.

I download both 32bit and 64bit NET install iso images.
I also downloaded the gpg signatures, md5 checksums, sha1 checksums.

The gpg signature checked out as correct. I view that as the definitive test.
For the 32 bit download, the signatures that I computed locally were:


9d1067c490a8af5a34b1287e75306949  openSUSE-NET-Build0025-i586.iso  (md5sum)
632893111e3b9b0c3bf9a14a32c722db111abc4f  openSUSE-NET-Build0025-i586.iso (sha1sum)

and for the 64 bit download, the signatures that I computed locally were:


0c89c63c7c23cb89005d072cc5ea7942  openSUSE-NET-Build0025-x86_64.iso (md5sum)
bd35ace41bb2f261145ed785c11e3bc1814f1987  openSUSE-NET-Build0025-x86_64.iso (sha1sum)

For both NET CDs, the md5 and sha1 signatures at the site disagreed with my computation. However, the gpg signature from the site does verify both downloads.

I hope that helps.

Use a metalink aware downloader, like aria2c, to do the download. The
result is guaranteed to be correct.
