I noticed after burning the .iso images to disk and checking them with YaST that two of the disk images (#'3 and 4) had bad md5sums. I reburned one .iso and rechecked it and it still failed. I burned the fifth disk and it passed. I assume my two .iso files are faulty.
Can I replace the faulty .iso files in the directory that my bitttorrent client points to and have others get the correct .iso's or do I need to make a torrent?
are you sure the download is finished? I was thinking bittorrent did a md5sum before ending
Yes, it had finished two days ago and I was finally burning the individual disks to do an upgrade on a CD-Drive only system. I burn and then I check the md5sums. Mike

Why not check the iso's against the SL-10.1/iso/MD5SUMS file *first*, to be sure you've got uncorrupted files? Of course you can check the md5sum from the burned iso too, after burning. But by /assuming/ you've got uncorrupted files (instead of verifying them) you can't be sure if the downloading went wrong or the burning went wrong. ;) Cheers, Leen

Thank you for this obvious thing, which I overlooked. :( The files have good md5sums. I'm not sure about the copies, but I reburned the disks with k3b and they check out good now. I started copying them to different partitions due to the fact I dl'ed them to my fat32 partition which had the room, but wouldn't allow me to make the DVD from the makeSUSEdvd script, as it created lower case directories but tried to write to upper case directories. Definitely time for a larger /home drive.

Cheers,
Files good, burning bad, midnights worse. Must have been the media I burned to. bad disk (iso #3), bad disk (iso #4), good disk (iso #5), bad disk (iso #3). Thanks Leen for pointing me in the right direction.
