I downloaded twice since 4pm today. Each has different MD5 checksum. Both
share the same size, but have checksums differ from the one recorded in the
MD5SUMS. As a result, the images were not bootable (...duh...)
I am a bit perplexed at this point. Not sure what might have caused the
corruption.

   - The download is done under wget at cygwin/Windows XP.
   - exact URL is "
   http://www.gtlib.gatech.edu/pub/ubuntu-releases/6.10/ubuntu-6.10-beta-desktop-i386.iso"

   - The speed was fast via Comcast
   - Both attempts finished successfully at first round
   - Comcast connection was down for a few hours in the afternoon
   yesterday, but all great since last night.
