I think we should have a bittorrent tracker for the Knoppix ISOs. That way you won't need to MD5 your file, since bittorrent will do that for you. It seems that the bittorrent client is as easy a installing the debian package. and for Windows there are a couple of (more or less) official builds, and off coarse the newest beta of Shareaza. That last one (once stable) adds the plus point that it shares on both ed2k and gnutella networks.
I might set up a tracker myself if I get to build my own silent EPIA PC, and it's silent enough to keep running overnight. Don't know if my ISP would like it.

Hmm, i've calculated what time it would take to upload Knoppix from my PC, you need to upload it at least once to another client. Since I also want to use my connection for normal internet, that would mean a max. upstream of ~6.5ko/s => 30hrs...
So uhm... No, unless you can link to a file located on an FTP server.
I'll investigate a bit.
[edit]Just as I thought, you tell a bittorrent client to 'download' to the complete file, after hashing the file it will upload the completed file fragments (everything) when needed. So you will need at least one client with a big(ger) pipe. One of the current HTTP/FTP mirrors seem useable to me.[/edit]

I downloaded V3.2-2003-05-20-EN fine from
ftp://ftp.cs.uni-frankfurt.de/pub/linux/knoppix/
Good connection at the max speed of my cable connection ~520kbps.
MD5 checked out OK.
I have found in the past that download optimisers cause MD5 errors on my system. I think the way they split the iso file into, say, four streams and download them simultaneously, then reassemble them into one file, causes problems on this large file.
So I now use the Right Click and Save Link Target As method.
Isn't Knoppix wonderful?

Regarding downloading in Windows:
I have never had *any* problem downloading the ISOs with SmartFTP
