Hi
I am dying to try LinuxMCE, it looks to be just what I need. However, after 2 weeks of trying to download it, I am getting a bit disheartened. I don't run Kubuntu already - being a bit of a Linux newbie, I need to use the DVD install. However, none of the links provided on the download page seem to work! When I use BitTorrent, the checksum is always different, and when I burn the DVD image to disk, it just doesn't work (won't boot at all)
There doesn't seem to be any other way of getting hold of LinuxMCE other than downloading - but I have not yet managed to download a single working disk image! Is there *any* other way of getting hold of the install DVD - ordering it by pst, for example? If not, I may have to give up on this - I am pretty computer-literate, but I cannot believe the difficulty I am having in just getting hold of a DVD iso!
you can buy an actual DVD disc here

Me neither! Kind of curious how you manage to get corrupted images from BitTorrent though. Anyway, check out this page (http://linuxmce.org/) where you can order the DVD on-line, pre-burned and all for your convenience. ;)
just curious, did you do a download verification in your torrent client before you burned you dvd.
sometimes with large downloads a block will end up being incomplete and the verification will identify it and go get a new copy.
if you still have it in your torrent client, try that and see if it re-downloads anything. just a guess, as i downloaded the torrent with 0 problems. now my install is another story, for another thread.
