Haines So looking at https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.1_r8/i386/iso-cd/ for example I see an obvious dat difference in the files.
So https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/3.1_r8/i386/iso-cd/debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso shows for me: sha1sum debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso 1ae919b97c0d5e55f45c7910f4aaa7b775df75da debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso md5sum debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso ab486a76a9362a21054575624fead93f debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso sha256sum debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso 5cee250e89b2993cf9053c74602868f45b6d1b1386d41803dba42c6622a4558e debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso sha512sum debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso 27fd844d31cce01a9b06401d1672fcdbdefda9f550554728d6fb28216b3317ecd3eca29f5ae79c1f464e631e644816e6f2a667b4935865513d6b532e7852db7c debian-31r8-i386-netinst.iso I would raise the point that ALL the checksums are incorrect and the 8 year date range is at issue.
