I have rarely had bad downloads over the years, but with openSUSE and
SLED in the last week I've only had about half my downloads check
correctly. Steven Vaughn-Nicholls of eWeek and Jason Perlow of Linux
Magazine have also had puzzling errors with these latest Novell offerings.

I now have a full set of torrent-downloaded SLED CDs that check out okay
(I don't have a DVD burner), and will install this sucka while
screen-capturing the process -- for a Linux.com article. Or maybe I'll
do Fedora this week and SLED/openSUSE next week. Same in the long run.
