It all started a few days ago..

A forum member asked me a few days ago if I could send him a copy of Overclockix as he couldn't use BitTorrent, so I sent him the one I had handy (an oldish Eidolon) through an IRC DCC send. That wasn't the end of it. Once sent, burned, and starting up, he got this:

Looks nasty doesn't it? :-/

So, on this and the fact that the new 3.4 version was out, I downloaded that and thought it would be a good idea to check it out to see if it's a good send, so that doesn't happen again.

Googling came up with "MD5" so I downloaded a few programs and got the following when I checked the files I have:

Code:
Overclockix3.4-2_29_2004.iso
f9fd999afe04bfdc2f3a09068ae6c3f7

Technomancer_01_23_2004.iso
47dead6ba5023b76996c84fab6593468

Anyone get a similar checksum? I don't wanna burn bandwidth for no reason sending someone a dud copy again :)

edit: I used this to check it.

EEK! kinda creapy.....
 
Technomancer and Eidolon are available through http on the overclockix site. There's no need to DCC them.

I'm fixing Eidolon right now. I think a bad update was uploaded recently, so I'm rolling back to a previous Eidolon iso.

I get errors like that occaisionally even when the cd is good. Sometimes I have to lower my overclock. Sometimes I have to put my cd drive in PIO mode.
 
k, cheers.

I checked with Ploaf and his ISO's came to the same checksums so I think I got a good one :)
