Re: Debian 10.3 XFCE from torrent failed verification (FALSE ALARM)

[Jason Quinn <jason.lee.quinn@gmail.com>]

Thanks Steve for the quick reply.

You are correct. My report appears to be a false alarm due to an incomplete download.

Apologies for the inconvenience but thanks to the whole Debian Team for all you do!

Cheers,

Jason

<download happened>
$ sha256sum debian-live-10.3.0-amd64-xfce.iso

and that checksum matches the one in

This sounds like you have a problem locally, to be honest. Did your
torrent client show any errors at all?
