Try using rsync or bittorrent to "fix" them. If you're on Windows (as you seem to be), the bittorrent method is probably easier. Install a bittorrent client (e.g. the one from bittorrent.com) and get the FC4 i386 torrent from http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/stentz-binary-i386.torrent Start up the bittorrent client and point it at the FC4 torrent file or URL. Figure out where it's starting to put the downloaded data. Then stop the bittorrent client, put your already-downloaded broken ISO files in the place the bittorrent client was going to download them to, and then start the bittorrent client again. It should then "fix" the files for you by redownloading only the broken parts (bittorrent uses SHA1 checksums for each "chunk" of the file). Paul. -- Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
