It's not impossible to purposefully break MD5 these days, but by chance? Pretty impossible (never actually happens, ever).
I see no file size difference between the MKV and what was previously stated, anyway.
What exactly is the difference in file size? Like what is the file size you've go and what do you think it should be?

File size different but the MD5 matches?
What are the odds?
Next to none.
My file is 17,8 in properties and 18,7 on details tab. Windows FTW.

However, in practice you must take into account the “fuckwit factor”. Just talk to Darth Mallwalker…

My checksums match what Harmy has stated, and the byte size is 19,213,754,660 as obtained via Nearsighted Scrappile's distribution. So, someone is mistaken.
Harmy, if you would please double verify the byte count and/or hash(es) of the corrected version.
Nearsighted Scrappile said:19,216,809,124 bytes.
It's the size of everything, including .nfo and subtitles... :)

Indeed it is.
OK, once more, the checksums are in the first post and are of the MKV file only.
The size of the MKV is 19,213,754,660 B.
Why so paranoid, guys? You got it from verified source.
Fanrestore - Fan Restoration Forum: https://fanrestore.com
Yes, a hash is a hash, no concern here.
Hey there Harmy.
I've already enjoyed your remastered 2.1 release, partly despecialized ROTJ and ESB. Few days ago I've watched the first half of your phenomenal 2.5 release. The bit around the cantina scene is always a good breaking point ;)
I've got a few questions you might just answer personally.
1. What exactly is the Mos Eisley scene you've used from the team negative1 35mm LPP print? Is it the the part in the city where Obi Wan goes like "you don't need to see his identification" etc.
or the Cantina scene and later?
2. Please give a short explanation of the three first audio mixes. What exactly does each one mean?
Are the stere and mono mix just a "mix-down" of the same 6-track source. Or are those different sources, recreations which contain the famous missing lines/alternate takes?
Where do they source from and/or who was responsible.
Thanks anyway.
And then there's that interesting read I've just got from the team negative1's restoration thread http://www.wideanglecloseup.com/starwarsaudio.html

To answer the audio question: the film in 77 came out in 3 different formats: the new, untested Dolby stereo, the high quality 70mm 4.2 baby boom mix and the low-quality but standards compliant academy mono. The stereo mix was digitally ripped from an LD, the mono mix was taken from VHS broadcast recordings from Europe and restored by Belbacus - an old member - and the 70mm mix, which has never been released, was 'recreated' by member Hairy Hen by using the 93 home video mix which itself was based on the 70mm mix, abeit with added sound effects.
In terms of content, the 70mm and the dolby stero are very similar, but the mono is an entirely different mix.
What’s the internal temperature of a TaunTaun? Luke warm.

I had the part from the first shot of the speeder arriving to Mos Eisley to the shot of them getting out of the speeder in front of the Cantina.
Hmm, I got the 2.5 mkv from myspleen, and the md5sum is wrong, and it really doesn't play properly, to say the least. Loads of discontinuities.
(At first, I worried that it was just that vlc was scared of all the tracks, so made a -vc -copy ac copy with ffmpeg, with a -map 0:0 and -map 0:2 to just use the video and the stereo 35mm mix...)
The problem is, I can't see it on there right now, to get a replacement copy. At 18 gb, it also eats into my monthly quota when it's corrupt, so was hoping that the torrent client would just sort it out for me :D
What client do you use? Broken files really shouldn't happen in torrents.
Also, are you 100% sure you downloaded it entirely? In torrents you can download like 5% of the movie, and then be able to watch it. That would explain messed up checksum.

I was using utorrent, and it was indeed 100% complete.
It's a good thing to check, a pretty good thought, of course. However, I have been torrenting stuff for more years that I'd like to think about with reasonable success (yay, install media ISOs and the like). I'm pretty sure that the torrent client thought it had the contents of the torrent, that it was complete and had been seeding for a while when I stopped it.
BTW, I tried updating my utorrent (it hadn't been used for a while), and AMAGAD, suddenly it was horridly spammy and groaning with adverts, so it has to go :)
I'd probably use qtorrent or something, when next I try. The only issue is that I can't see the torrent on myspleen (or anywhere else) atm, either. If I could find a viable source, I'd probably start again from scratch, if needed.
Edit: myspleen's search seems to be showing it again, so I will have another go, if it looks right :)

Whatever, bottom line is you did freak out and btw the Strokes are awesome you should check them out.
The size of the MKV is 19,213,754,660 B.
That's the size of my MKV, which came from myspleen.

Big thanks Harmy! Your work is awesome and I just wanted you to know that it's greatly appreciated in my little corner of the world. You are a star!

You got cheated out of 305,446 bytes. If I were you, I'd get a refund.
No refunds!
Okay everything checks out. I was unaware that we were talking about the movie file by itself, so my bad. And there's no glitch in the cantina so I won't have to deal with downloading again.
It’s really sad when the “creative minds” behind something we hold dear are also guilty of its destruction.
I just downloaded the files from tehparadox via jdownloader 2 and when I get to extract it says the rar files are corrupted.
I am on mac and don't know what to do. Will I have to download all the files again?
Buy a PC.
