Note the difference in dates of the .iso files...

Something strange is happening. Is it a Halloween prank?

The images are different too as the MD5SUM files can tell you.

Looks like the ftp server already has the new images that have only just
been built and the http server still needs to be synced.

If the difference is still there in a few hours, please mail to the
debian-cd list to report the issue.


I don't think it's a slow sync. It's now three hours after I posted the original question, and the problem persists. Also, note that the dates of the files are three days apart.

"Curiouser and curiouser" cried Alice...
