Hello
Does this occur on ftp.freebsd.org as well? sometimes these things can
be caused by incomplete downloads or mirrors (one minor glitch can
change the md5 code).
That said; it's unwise to rely on just one host to determine whether
this is a problem or not; please consider using at least ftp.freebsd.org
as well and if possible also a third one (ftp3.freebsd.org or something
random) so that we can really exclude stuff there.
I also advise you to continue this on the Questions@ mailinglist which
you can find on
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions they will be
able to help and assist you much quicker since this is a very different
platform and not really a support platform.
Thank you for using FreeBSD and reporting this issue!
Cheers,
Remko
