Yep I've on here!  Not sure about the gpg verification but the md5 of 
the iso is 5bc8...386.   I got this from the unix-ag bittorrent tracker 
about as soon as it was mentioned on knoppix.net.

Use the torrents.   It verifies the download for you, helps make life 
easier on the knoppix mirrors and you don't find a "dodgy" mirror 
messing things up!   It may not fly for the first day or two (10k-20k 
for me from a potential 55k), but now I suspect it would with 247 
seeders and just 58 leechers!
