The MD5Sum at LinuxTracker for 2.65.1 is wrong.

[brjoon1021]

I have downloaded 2.65.1 three times. Every one of them has this MD5SUM: 7e09810339673273502f469883231c21

The LinuxTracker site has this:
"Info Hash: 3f1e120b3ef2f29b354bb4d1608dbcac43708841"

The last question on this forum was mine asking how check the integrity of the download. I was told that it was an MD5Sum.

I have downloaded this gigantic OS three times, twice from Linuxtracker and once as an ISO from a mirror posted on this site.

I am getting frustrated and really confused.

this sum (7e09810339673273502f469883231c21) is correct!!!

[brjoon1021]

I don't get it.

The download site has the wrong sum !!!!
That seems like a pretty big oversight. Am I using the wrong sum ?
Is it something other than MD5 ?

Anyway, thanks for your help !

This is an ominous start, I think.

That's the .torrent file md5 sum and not the .iso one.

I did not know that there could/would be a difference.

Thanks. I'll burn it and try it out.

the file ".torrent" has this Info Hash: 3f1e120b3ef2f29b354bb4d1608dbcac43708841

the file Gentoo-RR4-2.65.1.iso has this md5 sum: 7e09810339673273502f469883231c21

if md5sum -b Gentoo-RR4-2.65.1.iso = 7e09810339673273502f469883231c21 then "burn it"
