Hi,

have you tried metalinks for your ISO downloads? you can list multiple mirrors & p2p, along with full file checksums like the .md5 files you already have and chunk checksums which allow downloads to be repaired. they're a simple XML format with automated tools for generating them. there's more info on wikipedia.

aria2 is a good CLI client for downloading, and most other download managers on Windows and Mac support it.

If you'd like to try it out, there are a few .metalinks for sidux at http://www.metalinker.org/samples.html
