Hey, The checksums aren't actually published on a website - perhaps in future
they will be. Because the ISOs are stored on Amazons S3 they are actually
stored in the replies from the server. There are a couple ways for getting that
info, if your using wget anyway you can use:

    $wget -S http://www.rpath.org/rbuilder/downloadImage?fileId=11011

The last response will contain the "x-amz-meta-file-sha1" and "Etag" headers
which are the SHA and MD5SUM checksums for the iso. Here they are in case that
didn't make any sense ;)

    foresight_7568_foresight-0.9.9-x86-disc1.iso
        SHA: 4ae391ecafe6059d00ff9e328998945c628200a0
        MD5: d37d92ab3c926770d61ca795d972ddf1

    foresight_7568_foresight-0.9.9-x86-disc2.iso
        SHA: 142ac87ef1b47ddbf295ef0857d0e562f53bc45d
        MD5: eb2cc897d9f676b7ddb4cd84e1f5b26e

If you need to restart a download you can get wget to continue with "-c". HTH
