20160303 Download Links Hanging

[highmileage]

When I try to download any of the 'Android Image Release 20160303' images from here, the site just hangs. Are other people experiencing that? Does anyone know of any other mirrors/torrents for these files (preferably the DD image). Thanks!

I'm getting the same thing. It times out on me too.

Okay, good--I'm not crazy!

We will check out.

We will check out.

I can now download the file but the checksum does not match the wiki. Twice now I've downloaded and found the checksum to be 2abdf3578a50e2df2c3e33b8e61c80c9. Should the wiki be updated?

(Edit: Correct checksum. I originally left off the final 9, h/t to androsch for catching that)

Can confirm the checksum for the zip is as stated above (plus a final 9), for the extracted image its also different from the wiki, so can someone kindly check and update the wiki or correct the file?

So against my better judgement I decided to just burn this image and see what would happen.

Note: For anyone trying to unzip this image on OSX (I was on 10.11.4), you might get caught in a zip to cpgz loop. I did multiple times, despite downloading via different browsers in an attempt to mitigate the problem. After jumping on my linux machine, downloading, and unzipping, I was able to successfully burn this image. I was then able to successfully boot up Android on my Pine.

Good:
-Things feel much faster than the Ubuntu image I was previously on.
-Able to link to Google Account 
-The native browser worked immediately--like gtpboy, I had to uninstall and reinstall Chrome to get it working.
-YouTube videos play successfully via the browser and app--YouTube playback was total garbage on the Ubuntu image I first used.

Bad:
-At first I was getting errors in the play store that I ultimately remedied by following these instructions. Picture below: 

-Everything feels really large on my display--I wish I could change the resolution to be a bit smaller.
-I had speakers hooked up to the Pine and it was outputting via them but upon reboot it started outputting through the TV again--potentially an issue depending on your audio setup and if you want to use this as a media center.

Questions:
-Anyone have experience with running Android on a display like this? Is it normal for everything to look so comically large? I'm used to Android on a phone but this is my first time ever running it on a larger monitor.
-Is anyone really happy with their Linux install? This Android install is fun but I don't like not have access to a terminal or common shortcuts I'm used to using.

TO DO:
-Figure out how to get Android to see all 64GB--right now it only seems to be aware of 4.57GB

For the curious, my setup:
Pine A64+ 2GB board, wifi + Bluetooth module just ethernet.
64GB Sandisk Extreme Plus UHS 3 microSD card w/ Android Release 20160303 (dd zipfile checksum: 2abdf3578a50e2df2c3e33b8e61c80c9) 
Asus charger that shipped w/ the original Nexus 7 (2012)
Costco HDMI Cable connected to Samsung 27" 1080p LED display
Old USB Optical Mouse via an Old USB Keyboard
(Logitech bluetooth mouse later up and running)

The only known way for Android to see the entire 64GB at the moment is to use PhoenixCard on Windows.

I am currently trying to figure out if expanding the data partition is possible on linux, but for OS X, there is totally no luck with that (no ext4 support).
