WARNING, THESE METALINK FILES ARE PRE-ALPHA. I AM STILL DEBUGGING THE SCRIPTS THAT CREATE THEM. SOME OF THE SCRIPTS MAY CONTAIN CHECKSUMS OF INCORRECT DATA.
You have been warned, not that that's said, about 95% of them are fine, probably more. A few still have bad sources and thus bad metadata. If you identify a bas meta4 file please contact me at< tbd > The problems are minor, the few I found had checksums of http error result pages and really short piece hash sections. Any errors are entirely non malicious in intent, just early stages of development.
The goal of this project is to provide metadata for ISO and other bootable images found on the internet, using the power of metalinks to ensure availability and authenticity of the images while distributing and localizing the load. Some metaling clients also combine downloads from multiple sources simultaneously using multiple protocols (like http, ftp and bittorrent) into a single download for super reliable high speed performance. The short version is metalinks make downloading super fast, secure and reliable. I've wanted to use them for a while, but most projects don't provide them.
This project is an offshoot of Boothorn DistrOS, which utilizes them to download and verify the images it uses to create multiboot usb keys and hod's and boot in VMs.
