download fedora 9 using rsync (to fix corrupted download)
Some mirrors of fedora listed here http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/9/ specify rsync as a supported protocol in addition to http and ftp. How do I use it? Simply rsync -avrt <location> is asking for a password that I do not know.
I am looking for rsync because I have an almost completely downloaded DVD iso, but checksum is failing. I tried to fix it using bittorrent, and it seemed to work for a moment, but when I tried checksumming it again, it failed. Subsequently when I asked my bittorrent client(transmission) to "verify local data", one block had an error. Now that block is failing repeatedly for 2 hours.
Any other ideas are also welcome.

Hello:
Never used rsync for a Fedora ISO download before, so I just tested it on a boot.iso image.
This what worked for me
rsync -av rsync://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/os/images/boot.iso /home/seve/Download
PHP Code:

receiving file list ... done
boot.iso
sent 150 bytes received 119249695 bytes 942686.52 bytes/sec
total size is 119234560 speedup is 1.00
I can test it on another image if you like ?

I did this, where . is the directory containing the corrupted file. It is waiting for a long time doing a lot of IO, and slight network uploads. Hope it fixes the file
Code:
rsync -av rsync://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso .
thanks

Hello:
It should work as I went ahead and downloaded a live image to test it again.
PHP Code:
$ time rsync -av rsync://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Live/i686/Fedora-9-i686-Live.iso /home/seve/Download

can you corrupt the file a few bytes and run it again? Did you do such a thing ? I got the following message, and it is not downloading anything. Just slight uploads

No luck. The latest updates are :

Seems to be a global Fedora 9 crisis. Is there any way I can figure out which part is corrupt, and download that segment it using wget?

Hello:
I had a copy of Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso that failed the sha1sum (originally downloaded with Ktorrent)
I placed that iso in the same directory and then kicked off
PHP Code:
rsync -av rsync://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Live/i686/Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso /home/seve/Download

And now the image passes the sha1sum test as it agrees to http://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/lin...e/i686/SHA1SUM.
This is the old version's

How did you figure out the rsync URL rsync://www.muug.mb.ca/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Live/i686/Fedora-9-i686-Live-KDE.iso ? The mirrors list says rsync://rsync.muug.mb.ca/fedora-enchilada/linux is the URL ?

Hello:
I just picked the first mirror I saw with rsync, then I just replaced the http with rsync ... maybe just lucky but it seemed to work fine ?
Seve
Edit:
I also found this one works as well
rsync -av rsync://anonymous@ftp.pbone.net/fedora/linux/releases/9/Live/x86_64/Fedora-9-x86_64-Live.iso

The problem is with my sha1sum. Maybe torrent clients also call the same library/executable, so they are also helpless. In quick succession, sha1sum gives different values for the same file. File is not being modified in the meantime , torrent clients are closed, rsync has finished.
Code:
$ sha1sum Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso 290473d13c8be0cec9fe11aaeec283b036ae7a91 Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
$ vim SHA1SUM
$ sha1sum Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
4846eb3769ca81830aeec1e93a1881113f0bca46 Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
$ sha1sum Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
05b947c7ff7ee5068589bd46374353bff8e5a9fc Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
sha1sum is supposed to be constant for a file, right?

same thing happens when I boot up a knoppix live CD. Hardware problem? Everything is working fine otherwise.
Code:
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/sdb5/images/linux/fixed$ sha1sum Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
89b2a7d9dc6d6d828e5455884801179c337fc888 Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/sdb5/images/linux/fixed$ sha1sum Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
466d3f39b8371f2112da38a0a1c71d7d3ee14f4b Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
knoppix@Knoppix:/media/sdb5/images/linux/fixed$ sha1sum Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso
