I'm currently downloading Suse 8.1, but before I install my PC I'd like to be sure that the download is complete. Is the number of files of this distro known? Or any other way to check? Perhaps you can check it against: ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/ftp.suse.com/ls-Ral.txt

I must say this is a good way. But there is a faster way too. Rather than doing an ls-lR from the parent directory for ALL the files.. I believe you are interested in only i386 branch of the distribution. So do this. Download the whole branch [how are you doing this? I have done it once and have a decent set of scripts ready. Want them? Change subject and write to me]. After this, go to the root of tree. That is, to directory 8.1 and do a find . -name MD5SUMS -type f > sumlist in it. File sumlist shall tell you location of file MD5SUMS on each directory. There are now many directories in 8.1 although 8.0 was horrible that way. I trust you shall have to go to each of these directories and run md5sum -c MD5SUMS command once. This shall verify the integrity of your files down to the last byte. Do a "man md5sum" to read and understand more.
