Thanks for clarifying that there isn't a problem with the ISO. Nice to know I didn't screw up.....well not that much anyway.
For those that are unaware, the video being referred to is from RetroRecipes, a YouTune channel I've been following for years, and is mentioned in the forum news section. Perifractic made a fantastic video which really showcased the C64x and Commodore OS well.

The Commodore retro community is all the rage about this updated version, which is great. But yet nobody has posted a working direct download link.
I'm sure many who know how to use teronents are fine with downloading it as that's the only currently available option, but you got to remember most people, especially casual retro gamers, have no interest in learning about using a torrent.
I myself have moved on to installing Linux Mint on several old pieces of hardware and it's great, but I was way more excited to install this Commodore OS variant and re-live the retro experience and explore it's possibilities. I'll still install it if it's ever available to the average retro computer user or gamer by a direct link, but sadly the iron wasn't struck while it was hot and this update was trending on the web such as YouTube a few weeks ago. Big missed opportunity.

The direct download link was not working because the Internet Archive got hacked and their site was turned off.
The site has been back up and Commodore OS available for direct download for the last couple of weeks or so.
The timing was......suspicious. Hmmmmm..... Maybe those hackers were Atari users.
