After incident like that, I actually don't care, what they say. I think it's pretty understandable.

Again. I am talking about the scenario, when some 3rd party person(s) modified their isos and presented it at their side.
If you validate the checksum of iso is completely unrelated to the fact. It's pretty obvious that using ssl transfer with combination of validating isos is the proper way. But as I said, it changes nothing.

Anyway, I am trying to add you on brilliant icq and the only thing I see is some dead kitty.
