I had some aborted downloads, but that time I switched to an ftp client 
and did it that way -- also OSX mounted the .iso file which I doubt 
would have happened if it was half-and-half -- but no, I didn't check 
the MD5.  I probably should just try again with a later build, but the 
server is so slow it takes me all night to download, and at the moment 
I'm trying a Gentoo install, so I'll leave it for a while.

Cheers,  Mike.
