Thanks Kam. I don't know why I didn't notice that. I assume that was 
caused by bittorrent. I tried to use it for the first time when 
downloading FC4. Neither of the sha1sums checked on the first two iso's. 
I ended up having to do rsync. I guess that is where the perms got 
changed around.

Thanks. I'll give it a whirl!
