Debian - Checksums

Broken In
Hi!

I wanted to try out Debian GNU/Linux as a Live CD. So, I downloaded the .iso file for amd64 arch that came with xfce desktop through a torrent. I downloaded the torrent from Debian's website.

All I'm downloading is a single .iso image file under the name 'debian-live-6.0.3-amd64-xfce-desktop'. I wanted to check the md5sum of the downloaded image file. I'd been searching for the md5sums that I should compare the one I'm getting with. All I came up with was the following page.

*cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/amd64/web/MD5SUMS

The problem is that there is not one hash against the name of the file I'm downloading. Instead there are 4 for the xfce amd64 version, each for different files.

I tried some searching and came with this page.

Verifying authenticity of Debian CDs

The above page was a little too complicated for my understanding. Can any one explain it better? It would be even better if someone could show me a page which gives the md5sums for the downloaded .iso file.

Thanks.

Resistance is Futile.
You're looking at current-live directory. You should have looked at 6.0.3-live directory as per the file name.

Index of /debian-cd/6.0.3-live/amd64/iso-hybrid
*cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.3-live/amd64/iso-hybrid/MD5SUMS
Code:
