Could the "See server" part of the Beta 1 line be highlighted red and link to this page:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/lubuntu/releases/oneiric/beta-1/MD5SUMS

Just an idea, but I have no idea how to do it ;^)

Also "Torrent link" may be misleading because that link includes all DL options (http, jigdo, zsync, torrent).

And that should be the only DL link needed for the Beta 1, having the QA testing link there could be confusing because about 4 days before Beta 2 those images will change, and we mention (and link to) the iso-tracker in the next paragraph.

In fact when the LTS releases have "point-upgades", eg: 10.04.4, they also pop up on the iso-tracker, sometimes several days prior to the actual release.

As always thanks for all you do. That extends to every member of the team.

Hi Jonathan,
as there are various incarnations of lubuntu (i386, amd64, alt.....) each comes with its own unique md5. That is what I allude to when I state that the md5 varies. Maybe a note explaining that there are different build flavours each with their own md5 needs doing? I put it simply as for a person to check at the down load area for the md5 for which image they downloaded?

Regards,
Phill.

On https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/Testing we have a chart that now says


our md5sums for some ISOs vary.



Um.  The whole point is that they don't :)  For a given ISO image, the

md5sum *must* be the same, or you don't have the same image!



I think maybe someone got lazy and didn't want to add entries for 4 ISOs

(LiveCD i386, LiveCD amd64, AlternateCD i386 abd AlternateCD amd64)?  Is

that what "varies" means -- there are four images, each with their own

(non-varying!) md5sum?



Basically, I don't think saying our md5sums vary is helpful... can we

fix this please?



Jonathan
