[Musix-users] Bit Torrent for Musix GNU+Linux 0.79

I noticed that ngolf at zonnet.nl was thankful that he was able to
"download" instead of "torrent", however I am not.

<musix-users-owner at lists.ourproject.org>
<musix-users-owner at lists.ourproject.org>"Downloading" (http/ftp) relies on
the underlying TCP layer for error control, which uses a weak checksum by
modern standards.

In addition to distributing transmission bandwidth, modern peer-to-peer
protocols provide an additional layer of error control.

Long story short - I have a corrupt ISO file, which would Not have happened
with Bit Torrent, (or Gnutella, or eDonkey)

Maybe one of you could send me the output from this command:

for a in `seq 0 697`; do (dd if=MusixGNU+Linux- 0.79b19.iso bs=1M count=1
skip=$a 2>/dev/null | md5sum >> MusixGNU+Linux-0.79b19.md5sum.1M); done

And I can manually recover the file; maybe downloading only 1 meg to repair
the file.

Otherwise, I'll have to begin downloading the entire 697 Megs all over
again.
