One difference I notice is your link points to http://ftp..... while the one I used through the SL website points to http://ftp1..... website. Those are probably 2 separate servers. I am downloading now using your link. What utility did you use to compute the checksum of the ISO files?

"SL-60-x86_64-2011-03-03-Install-DVD.iso" image doesn't contain the entire distribution but capable for basic install. They passed all SHA1/SHA256 checks. I see there is an public torrent tracker but seems it is not functional. I wasted few hours waiting for seeders appearance, but there was no luck. So I decided to download it from the HTTP resource I have provided above. --- wbr, Denis.
