I have tried 4 times to downlload the C3 test 2.91 DVd iso' s and none have passed both the md5sum and preinstall tests. Then I tried the 5 cd iso's and each three times with only one cd no 3 passing the preinstall media scan. What is really sad is on 8 of the iso's they passed the md5sum test and then failed the preinstall test. I tried 5 diff mirrors and both thunderbird and ie. I am wondering if the preinstall test is getting a false fail because of a bug on the iso or whatever? Has anyone gotten these to download and work? I am using a WXP machine to download them, could MS be sabotoging my efforts?

I grabbed them using bittorrent.

md5sums matched.

CD 1,2,4 failed the test - 3 passed.
Burned a second set - 1,2,4 failed, 3 passed.

At that point I figured if the md5sum from the torrent was fine, and the same 3 of 4 failed twice in a row, that they were probably fine.

Install went fine despite them having failed the installer check.
But FC3test3 is out, so before you redownload, wait for those mirrors to open.

If you already have FC3T2 you can yum update now - but it's a lot of packages, so wait for mirrors of the FC3T3 iso's to become public, and then grab them using bittorrent.

When it is public, there will be a torrent there.

FC3 final is due soon enough anyway though, unless you need to test - wait for that.

Thx for the reply, good info and I'll wait on test 3. lol about the process!

i had exactly the same problem ,i downloaded the iso's twice from 2 different ftp servers and both of them failed >>> that is really sad
