So how does one go about checking the checksum?

last post by me :)

Thanks for the FDM recommendation. It wasn't any better at downloading the files correctly on the first try, but once I did get valid checksums after repeated download attempts, the install completed without a hitch. I also cleared out the user temp folder which was chock full of garbage from yesterday's fiasco, so that might have had something to do with it as well. Now what new horrors await when I actually start it up... 

I'm in the same boat.  Using Chrome I downloaded all the files last week, thinking I'd do the X2 install this weekend.  When I tried the Part1 install and got a 'package integrity check failed' message I stumbled onto this forum thread.  I'm now using FDM (performing checksum checks after each download) and am on download attempt #6 on Part1 since every checksum check hasn't matched to this point.  What a waste of a weekend...

     Followup 10/7/12:  Turns out I needed to be on the one machine in the house that's hard-wired to the internet. 

                                       Downloading over my wifi resulted in lost packets.  Install was easy after that.
