00:56:41 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> Hello, I am new to Monero and am in the process of trying to set up a Monero GUI wallet on my Linux Ubuntu 24.04 Desk top PC. I am using the terminal commands in my Ubuntu and have hit a snag with trying to down load the Hashes.txt file for verification of my installation. I am using the Tor browser with standard security (browser and website features are enabled). The download fa<clipped message>
00:56:42 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> ils and I receive the following in the Terminal response to the command: $ wget -O hashes.txt https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/hashes.txt

00:56:54 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> can anyone offer any help with correcting this problem?
01:52:41 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> The problem may be my VPN and/or browser security settings. Checking that now.
02:04:21 <jpk68> I could be wrong, but your IP is probably just blocked by Cloudflare. A number of people have been having issues with accessing the site recently
02:05:12 <jpk68> wget fails on my end as well, both with VPN and without. wget doesn't use the browser, so your browser security settings are not the problem.
02:05:27 <jpk68> I would suggest trying the command again without a VPN/Tor on
02:06:13 <jpk68> If all else fails, you can just try and open the text file manually and then download it
05:19:32 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Use the github source
05:19:33 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monero-project/monero-site/refs/heads/master/downloads/hashes.txt
05:22:59 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> jpk68, for some reason the cdn is blocking wget, curl, and some firefox browsers
07:57:20 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> I used the command: wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monero-project/monero-site/refs/heads/master/downloads/hashes.txt and it looks like that worked. The response I get in the terminal is: --2026-02-22 23:52:18--  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/monero-project/monero-site/refs/heads/master/downloads/hashes.txt

08:10:20 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> Not sure what directory it was sent to. I guess I will see if it shows up in either my "Home directory" or the "Downloads directory". That is where the wallet download (monero-gui-linux-x64-v0.18.4.5.tar.bz2) went.
08:40:59 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> That saves to hashes.txt.1 << you probably alteady have a hashes.txt inthe sae folder
08:41:15 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It downloads to the folder that the terminal shoes it in
08:41:25 <m-relay> <o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If it doesnt show a folder (just username@host) then its probably in your home folder

23:49:47 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> Thank you for the help! By same folder do mean the directory that the Wallet installation (monero-gui-linux-x64-v0.18.4.5.tar.bz2) resides in..the Downloads directory. Please forgive my ignorance, as you can tell I am not fluent in the operation of Linux. I am primarily focused on obtaining BTC and now XMR. Sort of a "learn as I go"deal. I will start looking in the Downloads and H<clipped message>

23:54:33 <m-relay> <n​eospal2:matrix.org> Thank you. I do not know what "<selsta> luigi111: please also merge 4568 and tag gui v0.18.4.6" means.
