Re: [Bug-wget] Problem using GNU Wget 1.11.4 Windows version

[Henrik Holst]

It's strange though that he gets different sha256 for each download even if
the problem should be in sha256sum?

I did download the file with Wget v1.12 on Ubuntu and got the same
sha256sum as the one from the CHECKSUM file. So I did calculate the md5 so
that JD can check that aswell:

address@hidden:~$* sha256sum Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso
af7f172962ab47748914edb7c4d30565d23b4cf21f3bc4b7e3cd770b384d9a75
Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso
address@hidden:~$* md5sum Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso
0d64ab6b1b800827a9c83d95395b3da0  Fedora-16-i386-DVD.iso
