I can't get Debian!

scriptn00b · 09-06-2005, 12:38 AM

I'm having trouble downloading debian. Every time I successfully download a dvd iso via ftp from the University of Oregon the md5 doesn't match. I also tried downloading a cd version but same result. Does somebody know of a good mirror to download debian DVD iso's? It takes 12 hours to download one dvd iso just to have it not be correct. This is wasting my time in a serious way. I've actually thought about just buying the DVDs. I'm going to hit somebody in the face!

Were you using Jigdo for your downloads? It's the recommended 'debian way':

If that is what you were doing already, and its not working, then buying the disks as you suggest is a pretty good option.
