Heanet Mirror Corrupt 2010-beta1.iso
« on: March 14, 2010, 07:38:19 AM »

Just downloaded PCliux 2010 beta from the Heanet Mirror.
http://ftp.heanet.ie/pub/pclinuxos/live-cd/english/preview/pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso

First anomaly was the size - 433M instead of 693.4M, I then checked Md5sum:-

[anc@orac Downloads]$ md5sum pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso
1aff66365a3ee024079899f740001840  pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso


a different result. I've deleted this iso and downloading from
http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/texstar/pclinuxos/live-cd/english/preview/pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso


Not sure if the heanet mirror is corrupt or some fault on my ADSL connection, will try again.
Anyone else had this problem from heanet ?

Ditto - same as coolbreeze - I don't think I've ever encountered a problem with heanet.ie

Don't know which app you used to download it but you may be able to resume it insead of downloading it all again
PCLinuxOS 32bit KDE 4.10.4; kernel-3.4.11-pclos1.bfs & 64bit 3.4.38bfs; NVidia GeForce 8400GS 1GB 310.19 driver

I used firefox to download it, took 15 minutes thats all, but left it unattended.
I downloaded from iblio, took a while longer but now I have correct md5sum
and will try the beta release on new partitions.

Heanet seems OK to me.

pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso              06-Mar-2010 09:18  694M 
pclinuxos-2010-beta1.md5sum           06-Mar-2010 10:03   59   

I have also found it reliable and reasonably fast (from NW England).


However the beta on ftp.nluug.nl does seem to be too small.

pclinuxos-2010-beta1.iso                           06-Mar-2010 12:08  248M  <<<<<
pclinuxos-2010-beta1.md5sum                        06-Mar-2010 11:03   59

I am fairly sure that the reported size is correct as I was watching it arrive from IBIBLIO on beta 1 day, hoping to download it from there. The increasing size stalled at 248M.

Firefox can be a pain with large d/l files. Konqueror web browser can integrate with kget which offers choice of where to d/l, monitoring the d/l speed, and allows resuming stalled downloads. I always use konqueror for large file d/l, which .iso images are.

Of what use be there for joy, if not for the sharing thereof?

Another option would be Filezilla which also allows downloads to be resumed (and stopped and picked up later)

Another option is Retriever by Halogenware <http://www.halogenware.com/software/retriever.html>

It has a nice scheduling facility so I can get large files overnight.
