Hi,

I have some sha1sum weirdness.
It looks like the x86_64 DVD image is corrupted on multiple fpt sites.

I downloaded FC4-x86_64-DVD.iso (2932850688 bytes) and got a wrong sha1sum.
Ok, no big deal, something screwed up during download, retry and be done
with it. So I thought...

I downloaded the whole DVD about five(1) times now, from different ftp
servers.
ftp.quicknet.nl
ftp.surfnet.nl
ftp.nluug.nl
ftp.belnet.be

Every time I get the wrong sha1sum.
I consisently get this checksum:
6688cf57c31c754cfc7631f1d9509bb269760050  FC4-x86_64-DVD.iso

instead of what the SHA1SUM file says:
2f166c7cff4e7334744d48e642b3287693d982ed  FC4-x86_64-DVD.iso

Then, I downloaded the image again, now using bittorrent.
This resulted in a correct image.
2f166c7cff4e7334744d48e642b3287693d982ed  FC4-x86_64-DVD.iso

Note: Other .iso files (i386-DVD, rescue cd's) I downloaded with ftp where
all OK.

-I downloaded on a FC3 system (that machine is i386, not x86_64).
-I used wsftp to download.


Regards,
Harm
