Additional note, I notice that here: https://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#verify It says :=== "The problem with the verification of written optical media is that some media types will possibly return more bytes than those found in the ISO image. This trailing garbage is impossible to avoid with CD written in TAO mode, incrementally recorded DVD-R[W], formatted DVD-RW, DVD+RW, BD-RE, and also with USB keys. Therefore, we need to read exactly the same number of sectors of data from the media as are found in the ISO image itself; reading any more bytes from the media will alter the checksum result.""Thanks, but it would be a lot more help to know more details, Especially which mirror you used, what was the url to where you downloaded it from, ?Was it a amd64 image or i386 ? Was it a "Live CD image", "netinstall" or ?Thank you
================================ There are more details here: https://www.debian.org/CD/verify as well, Are you sure you are checking correctly ?
