Has anyone else had trouble downloading this (Disk 2)? I did use Firefox as suggested, but the completed ISO file is showing up as 216mb

I just downloaded it via the torrent file. Do that if you can; it's quite fast. No problems with the vid, either.

For those new to torrents, get http://utorrent.com - it's super small and simple.

Here's a bit of encouraging - albeit anecdotal - news:

When I was seeding the ronpauldvddotcom2.iso file prior to November 5th, there were around 3-4 seeders/leachers. NOW, there are 13 seeders, and 24 leachers! Not stellar absolute numbers, to be sure, but it's quite a significant increase, nonetheless.

Perhaps this thread has had something to do with it, and the downloaders are all "true believers", but I'm inclined to think that it's a reflection of the fact that the Nov 5th fundraising effort drew some people to him. Either they are doing it directly, or the true believers are being asked about him by potential supporters, and they are downloading the dvd for recirculation. Either way, it's a good sign.

I had a hard time downloading ronpauldvddotcom2.iso at http://ronpauldvd.com/downloads.rp08 (none of the links worked) so I did a search using google (http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=ronpauldvddotcom2.iso&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8) and found the following site:

http://www.katrinafeeds.org/ronpauldvddotcom/ (http://www.katrinafeeds.org/ronpauldvddotcom/)

and downloaded readily (as readily at 4 gigabytes is going to)

Here is the directory list:

And then I did an MD5 checksum in "terminal" on my Macintosh:

eichenauers-computer:~/Desktop thane$ openssl dgst -md5 ronpauldvddotcom2.iso
MD5(ronpauldvddotcom2.iso)= 46d8ffac66c05c373048577f471ce3b6
eichenauers-computer:~/Desktop thane$

and it matched the MD5 that the official web site said I should expect.
