http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AdamMiller</a><br>It is strange....<br>I attempted to see if i can mimic the action by making a dummy ISO and<br>downloading it to see if whatever makes the (2).iso actually changed the<br>data in the .iso . It would appear there is some coding that makes
<br>duplicate copies NOT overwrite the original, and change the name<br>instead. This is NOT typical download behavior....the default is to<br>always overwrite, rename, or cancel. What ever is causing the files to<br>rename themselves is probably also changing the md5sum.
