bad ISO downloads

[tcabernoch]

Riddle me this, team.

How, out of all the vendors providing software out there, does this one distro consistently have so many bad downloads?

And then, just to make it spooky on top of weird, some of those downloads actually run installs and can go as far as building undead systems that are missing parts.

Sure.
EVERY software provider is plagued by bad downloads.
And there's some chance of ANY download having some oddball effect.
But this happens ALL THE TIME.

Wassat all about?

I am not aware of a particular high number of "bad ISO downloads" - I just think you might see more reports because there's a very active community here in one place..

if you in particular frequently see corrupted ISO downloads on your end, please provide details (can also be done privately).

Thanks Fabian. Yes, it's an anecdotal impression. But a strong one.
And yes, the fact that there even is a (very well maintained) forum to come and complain certainly does aggregate and highlight the complaints.
And yes, there are a LOT of bad downloads. Is it worse than anywhere else? Can't say.
But I've had a couple bad downloads, (three bad installs so far pbs and pve) and I cannot figure out why.

I appreciate the offer of help. If I had a clue, I'd have posted that instead. Currently zero clues.
