337416 2005-03-24 08:15:00 With rsync you normally correct an already downloaded ISO to fix any dodgy files. Never used it, but it compares the ISO's files with the official set and corrects any inconsistent files.

You may want to check your md5sum's on the newly downloaded ISO in case yo have it right this time. Also think you can create an ISO image back off the burnt CD and then rsync the image.

337418 2005-03-24 09:11:00 Not sure. Depending upon your software you can generate an ISO back off a CD. Never used rsync, but I have read about it being used. That is about my knowledge limit. :) Jen (38)
337419 2005-03-24 10:26:00 rsync is actually a back-up tool. The good thing about it is that instead of backing up everything, it only adds the differences that have occurred since the last back-up. It can do this remotely as well. This is why it is very suitable for verifying the integrity of a download.

A Windows version is here (www.freesoft.org).
