Wrong md5sum

Hello all guys.

It’s the second time i’m trying to download OpenSuse11 64bit DVD. The biggest problem it’s the speed of my connection so it takes so long ( 1 day plus or minus) for completing the download here.

But on the first time and on the second time too the hash of md5sum is wrong…I don’t know why:

It should be: 512c8346b0f8eb35f28c4eb96454d391

but when i verify it : 7db4c1c89dd62b8b97950f54c56d4a41

Completly different !!! Any suggestion?

You have errors in it, plain and simple.

However you can correct errors using bittorrent. It will find the bad blocks and refetch those.

so i’ve to download it for the 3 time??? Ohhhhh god…

No, if you set up bittorrent, then point the program to your slightly wrong file, it should download only the blocks in error.

If all fails, get someone in your city/country to make you a copy, or buy a copy from a duplicator. Sometimes they also come with Linux magazines.

Or burn the smaller CD and install from the Internet, which should also
be a valid option. Which application are you using to download? It’s
possible your application can’t handle a download of this size. In the
meantime try ken yap’s suggestion of a BitTorrent client.

Good luck.

I’ve always used Firefox 3.0.3 to download it…

Now i’m downloading with Vuze…but it’s **** slow!!!

Well, if you already have it downloaded you should be able to stop your
download, put your full ISO in the downloading file’s place, and then
tell Vuze to verify it. I haven’t done this for a while but it was
fairly simple the last time I did it. This way it verifies the file and
only downloads what it needs.

Good luck.
