Incorrect MD5 Hash on two releases I downloaded

[Guest]

Hey guys, I need some clarifications here.

I've downloaded the first ISO here:

http://mirror.korea.ac.kr/ubuntu-cd/...rnate-i386.iso

And I'm currently downloading the 2nd ISO here:

http://tw.releases.ubuntu.com/kubunt...rnate-i386.iso

The question is,why is the first ISO I downloaded has incorrect MD5 Checksum? It's an official mirror directly from Kubuntu site.

why is the first ISO I downloaded has incorrect MD5 Checksum?

If anyone knew for sure why downloads sometimes incur an error, then they could simply take the preventive measure, and there would be no need for md5 checksums to make sure they are correct.

For folks who have problems using http to download bit-true files, there is wget, a command line method.

So, you could open a console and issue

wget -Nc [url]http://mirror.korea.ac.kr/ubuntu-cd/kubuntu/intrepid/kubuntu-8.10-alternate-i386.iso[/url]

wget is more robust in situations where the connection is not so stable. Check

man wget

for details.
