this is true.

even more so, yesterday i finished a 17 hrs download of;

   SL-64-x86_64-2013-03-18-Install-DVD.iso   18-Mar-2013 09:56   4.0G

from;

   http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6.4/x86_64/iso/

i have a dsl connection that at _start_ of telco dsl line is rated
to be 8M0. because i am at very end of line, 17,000 ft, iirc, and
i get a max of 0M78 bps, with an average of 0M68 bps. therefore
such a long download.

i know you can not fix my connection, but i would appreciate if you
would also check above page's sha256sums.


this is what i get;

a friend who has an 80M0 bps is pulling dvd iso for me and i really
would hate to have to tell him his efforts where not necessary. he will
not mind if sha256sum's are in err, but i am to wonder if he has same
results that i had. especially if he makes check, finds a bad check and
pulls again. :-)

thank you very much.
