Is the MD5sum correct as distributed?  I just did a completely
successful download using BitTorrent, and it says that everything was
ok.

According to the MD5 file, for the 5 disks, I should therefore see:

    bc4efae0c3db8f32820b5a779455d20f  FC3-test3-i386-disc1.iso
    2e925a39a949401abd57a26f0d09a672  FC3-test3-i386-disc2.iso
    09d7a1cfe6923b184987d5ecf5a82d8a  FC3-test3-i386-disc3.iso
    ec5fbf3381cdf718c7f50362740ce784  FC3-test3-i386-disc4.iso
    9ecbc904c654edec49666098082c3020  FC3-test3-i386-rescuecd.iso

But instead, I see:

!   4b1c867939bcc6bfde0c2396a276d3aa  FC3-test3-i386-disc1.iso
    2e925a39a949401abd57a26f0d09a672  FC3-test3-i386-disc2.iso
!   ef112940cfbaa9f64da52ec6e06db8ac  FC3-test3-i386-disc3.iso
    ec5fbf3381cdf718c7f50362740ce784  FC3-test3-i386-disc4.iso
!   c9e0f4dd7223b8819f1bc110b705d051  FC3-test3-i386-rescuecd.iso

which looks like bad disks 1, 3 and the rescue CD.  I cross-checked the
MD5SUM file contents with 2 other mirror sites and the master site, and
they all agree.    I just restarted my torrent, and it re-checked the
as-downloaded files and again found no fault.

RedHat has published bad MD5sums before, so that may be the real
problem.  Before I go and start installing somebody's spiffy new cracked
version, which one is really correct -- the successful download, or the
RedHat calculation?
