None in use - or even on the system for that matter.

I downloaded cd1 with no problem from mandrake.redbox.cz using gftp -
md5's are ok. I've now downloaded cd2 either 5 or 6 times from different
servers and cd3 once last night. The last download of cd2 and the
download last night of cd3 were done by rsync. Subsequent checks using
rsync report they are fine. I got the most recent md5sums file from the
same server as the iso's (although it is the same as the first one from
redbox.cz). rsync says the downloaded copies are identical to the remote
copies yet the md5's don't match. I've even tried using rsync against a
couple other servers to compare the local to remote files and they check
ok. The third CD just finished burning so I'll just grab a spare box and
see what I come up with.

Seems like someone asked whether or not my workstation could be padding
some of the packets or altering the packets in some way. This is
something I have no idea about -  but I don't know why it would. I
certainly haven't knowingly done anything to precipitate this behavior.
My workstation runs Mandrake 7.1 with all the applicable updates
Mandrake has released applied. I've even used two different applications
(gftp and rsync) to download the iso's so it shouldn't be a bad app
either.

Like I said, I'll grab a spare box and see what shakes out. I don't seem
to have much choice...
