I grabbed the torrent off of one of the iso mirrors, but it is coming down so slow - I have to wonder if the torrent file is the incorrect one for the bad file mentioned on the list earlier.
You should be able to check the tracker, make sure its on .centos.org
Here are the sha1sum's for the right .torrent files:
aacb74578a98593ceabeab5c99b5ff3a1c27c72a ./x86_64/CentOS-5.2-x86_64-bin-DVD.torrent b5e512bd4ed3671b90711ac04d6b38423d6d7ae9 ./x86_64/CentOS-5.2-x86_64-bin-1to7.torrent 67ccaf21b9620f695a06e437cb695df5cfc23f7b ./i386/CentOS-5.2-i386-bin-1to6.torrent 66263514382ed8b726ff94ec84bea149ec53c5f0 ./i386/CentOS-5.2-i386-bin-DVD.torrent
( apologies for the word wrap - I am sure you can still make sense of it )
Just as an FYI, there *seems* to be some small difference in the specifications of the torrent files for the 1to6 and DVD. I shutdown and rebooted the system, ran this command
export SD=/media/BkUp_4_51/shared/CentOS/Current cd $SD rtorrent \ -s $SD \ -o key_layout=qwerty,peer_exchange=yes,dht=on \ *.torrent
Since I'm seeding, download is not an issue. But the peer_exchange is different in the two torrents. From the UI for 1to6
Transfer list Peer exchange: enabled active (8/8)
and for the DVD
Transfer list Peer exchange: enabled inactive (0/8)
This diference has been consistent. I don't know if it has a(n) (in)direct effect on the download speeds. But since another person mentioned slow download, I thought it might be a relevant data point.
