debian download

[Jude DaShiell]

I used wget to download speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso and 
speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso.md5 from 
http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup/ and figured I'd get a 
good download.  According to md5sum -c speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso 
though, 576 files were missing.  The md5sums on the file downloaded and 
the iso burned were identical to 65789dbb11dbd80e3d539ae3fff523c5 though 
so it's possible I've got me a bad copy of md5sum.  The end result is that 
both speakup kernels on the disk speakup and speakup26 do not speak and it 
appears the disk doesn't run or install anything though it's readable when 
I try reading the README.speakup file with less on the CD. Is wget less 
effective than its documentation claims?  I used: wget -bq --tries 0 
http://people.debian.org/~shane/netinst-speakup/speakup_netinst-3.1r0a-1.iso 
<cr> to download the iso originally and it came down very quickly on my 
dsl connection too.
