Great, btw, I know you are all probably woundering Why I had MD5Sum in the
title, I apologize, I forgot to mention, that several users have reported
that the MD5Sum Hash file is wrong on the servers. They have the wrong iso
names and what not, I did check ftp://ftp.arklinux.org and did find this to
be the case, se can't keep using the comment of check the MD5Sum at this
point becuase it is wrong.

I could have probably md5 sumed the iso in the server, but I didn't know
exactly how that file is updated and I didn't want to screw anything up, I
assum that it supposed to get down automatically, but if thats the not the
case then the hash does indeed need to be fixed.
