Uttered "Atkins, Brian" <BAtkins(a)osc.uscg.mil>, spake thus:
I have been trying to download the Fedora Core 1 i386 iso's both
from
redhat.com and from mirror sites. No matter how I download them (via the
http ftp site, using ncftp) or the mode (binary, image, ascii) I cannot get
the checksums to match.
Don't try to download using a web browser. You _must_ download in
binary mode. I suggest using wget(1) since it handles retries and
interrupted transfers quite nicely. Something like this:
$ wget -c <paste-url-here>
should make your life much happier.
