RE: Installation Problems - rsync, me, or something else?

I don't know what the problem is but if I were you I would try rsync with a
different server and see if you get the same results.  If you do, your
download is somehow bad.

  Dear Sir/Madam,

  I am trying to download Debian i386 Linux and create installation CDs. I
could download all files successfully and create the pseudo-image file (a
litlle over 600 MB). After renaming it to binary-i386-1.iso and running
RSYNC with the following command line (single line):
  rsync --verbose --progress --stats --block-size=8192
archive.progeny.com::debian-cd/2.2_rev3/i386/binary-i386-1.iso .
  the process started (including percent indicator), but when it completed
there was an error message saying:

  binary-i386-1.iso
  666320896 (99%)
  ERROR: file corruption in binary-i386-1.iso. File changed during transfer?

  Number of files: 1
  Number of files transferred: 1
  Total file size: 666324992 bytes
  Total transferred file size: 666324992 bytes
  Literal data: 0 bytes
  Matched data: 666324992 bytes

  wrote 488157 bytes  read 325857 bytes  371.78 bytes/sec
  total size is 666324992  speedup is 818.57

  I did not modify or access in any manner any file in the folder of the
.iso file. I run the operation twice after that, but I got the same result.
There is over 900 MB free space on the disk. Could you please advise me what
to do?

  Respectfully,
  Asparouh Stefanov
