I downloaded the games spin of Fedora 13, i386 version, and I discovered, using an Windows program, that the "SHA1SUM" code of the "iso" file who I downloaded is the following:

c9b684d6cd4571bc724714831b22e2891eefd8e5

So, I would to know if this code is the right one, or if I will need download this image again.
By the way, what's the right "SHA1SUM" of this image who I described above?


Since now I thanks,

Did you download through torrent or direct? If you downloaded through torrent there should be no need to verify the download, since that should be done by the torrent mechanism.

I downloaded the Fedora 13 - Live Games i386 version through torrent, but I don't know If the program who I used has a integrity verification mecanism...
Do you know if the "uTorrent" program (on windows) has this mecanism?
Thanks.

According to this site, uTorrent has the ability to do it:

Have you burnt this? If memory serves me correctly, every Linux image I've burnt had an option in its boot menu to check the integrity of the disk. That's quite important as you can have errors during the burning process.

Yup there is an option to auto check integrity.

The specification for BitTorrent includes a checksum,
so I believe that all clients check it, which might explain the lack of checksums on the download page. Transmission sure does check them.
