Hi,

I have heard of a lot of people downlaoding and re-downloading distros due to corruption. Heres how to remedy it without re-downloading.

1) If its a CD make the iso files using UltrsISO or something.
2) Get the BitTorrent client - *bittorrent.com
3) Get the .torrent file for the distro version - usually available on the homepage - or jsut Google for it.
4) Start the download in any location (say D: ). As soon as you start, cancel it. In the location, you will have a folder with the name of the .torrent file. And in it htere will be blank iso, 0kb.
5) Replace these isos with the iso you created in the first step. Start the download again in the same location. (D: ) Then it wil lsay "Checking existing file" and download only the bad chunks again.
6) Burn the ISOs to a CD or jsut do a iso install of the distro.
ENJOY!!!

If you use this tip somewhere, please give me the due credit.

In azureus we have a option to check the file if its corrupted or not. Its called "Forced Re-Check" . You get that by rightclicking on a torrent.

@abhinandh try with the methods given and check for integrity of the file from within your torrent client. Also check with the website from where you downloded that torrent file. Usually there are lot of comments by users who downloaded that perticular file. If the original file is really corrupt then other users will also face the same problem. Else its at your end.

A Tip : Before jumping and downloading a Torrent always check the comments form other users. This will give a good idea of how the file you are about to download is. If its a Video then they will also give ratings about the Video and sound quality.
