I just downloaded a fresh copy from

ftp://ftp.esat.net/mirrors/whiteboxlinux.org/3.0/en/iso/i386/liberation-i386-source-1.iso

to a hosted machine in Telehouse, London.

[pete@tom tmp]# md5sum liberation-i386-source-1.iso
dc5c129f9fcf0ed20f6f57f22a5d1856  liberation-i386-source-1.iso


It checks out okay for me, matches the md5 on the webpage and the one I got
from bit-torrent.

Yours,
