I downloaded Fedora Core 5 via BitTorrent, and when I burned the CDs and

images off my hard disk and redownloaded, again via BitTorrent. The same
three CDs failed the checksum again. Has anyone else had this problem,
is the BitTorrent download corrupted, or is it just me? (please tell me
it's just me)
1. What you should do is run the checksums on the iso file *before*
bothering to burn the CD.
2. The CD's media check fails sometimes even on good CD's.
3. Use the CD's you first made; unless you have a near to failing CD
drive, it is highly likely that the CD's you already made are right to go !
4. see http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111952741800002&r=1&w=2
and also the fedora-test list for more recent discussions.
