Everything should be fine with this mirror.
Marcel, All, I am now thoroughly confused regarding why I am not getting the correct checksum when I download to my laptop. Is there any reason one can think of (other than a failing drive -- i.e. disk geometry, etc...) that would cause the reporting of an incorrect checksum? The reason I ask is on my first download from www.gtlib.gatech.edu I received a checksum of: 31fa61afd67cbd88c91f97d7d04244a1 I then downloaded the ISO from mirrors.gigenet.com to my server and received the correct checksum: 3d6a54886230649a049a9d431e03bbba archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso To correct the copy on my laptop, I then deleted the original download and rsync'ed the good copy from my server (via wifi): rsync -uav nirvana:~/arch/iso/archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso . Strangely, the checksum is still not correct: 723f6bab8b950ef59a689ff90a5ec82d archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso I repeated the rm/rsync again and while the size reported is the exact correct number of bytes, the checksum is again wrong: 2832de308651f77df753b5a5977431c0 archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso Is there anything other than hardware that could account for this? The drive in the laptop is a WDC WD7500BPVX-22JC3T0 and smartctl tests all report "No Errors Logged", so I'm a bit stumped? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
