that's _really_ 'funny':

[server side]
[flag at ubi8 libalias]$ md5 libalias.tgz 
MD5 (libalias.tgz) = dd2e1c2378f03dd675cb26789dc071b0
[flag at ubi8 libalias]$ tar zxvf libalias.tgz 
libalias
libalias/.cvsignore
libalias/Makefile
libalias/TODO
libalias/fix-base.sh
[snip]
[flag at ubi8 libalias]$ ls libalias
Makefile    fix-base.sh ipfw2-5     ipfw2-7     ng_nat      readme.txt
TODO        ipfw2-4     ipfw2-6     libalias    patch       test
[flag at ubi8 libalias]$ ls -la libalias.tgz 
-rw-r--r--  1 flag  flag  573905 Apr  4 16:01 libalias.tgz

now, if i click on the wiki's link, firefox retrieve this:

[on my laptop]
[flag at longino ~]
$ md5 libalias.tgz 
MD5 (libalias.tgz) = 8f71b7f6574b0a30792119213c08b06f
[flag at longino ~]
$ ls -la libalias.tgz 
-rw-r--r--  1 flag  wheel  77347 Apr  4 16:16 libalias.tgz
[flag at longino ~]
$ tar zxvf libalias.tgz 
x libalias
x libalias/kld-cuseeme
x libalias/.cvsignore
x libalias/HISTORY
x libalias/Makefile
[snip]
[flag at longino ~]
$ ls libalias
HISTORY         alias_irc.c     alias_skinny.c  kld-nbt         lib-libalias
Makefile        alias_local.h   alias_smedia.c  kld-pptp        lib-nbt
alias.c         alias_mod.c     alias_util.c    kld-skinny      lib-pptp
alias.h         alias_mod.h     kld-cuseeme     kld-smedia      lib-skinny
alias_cuseeme.c alias_nbt.c     kld-dummy       lib-cuseeme     lib-smedia
alias_db.c      alias_old.c     kld-ftp         lib-dummy       libalias.3
alias_dummy.c   alias_pptp.c    kld-irc         lib-ftp         libalias.conf
alias_ftp.c     alias_proxy.c   kld-libalias    lib-irc

that's obviously wrong, WTF?!?!?!!
But the real fun starts if you try to retrieve the same
archive via wget:

[flag at longino ~]
$ wget -c http://ubi8.imc.pi.cnr.it/~flag/libalias/libalias.tgz
--16:18:39--  http://ubi8.imc.pi.cnr.it/~flag/libalias/libalias.tgz
           => `libalias.tgz'
[snip]
[flag at longino ~]
$ md5 libalias.tgz 
MD5 (libalias.tgz) = dd2e1c2378f03dd675cb26789dc071b0
[flag at longino ~]
$ ls -la libalias.tgz 
-rw-r--r--  1 flag  wheel  573905 Apr  4 16:01 libalias.tgz

and that's the right one!
Anyway, i'm not the admin there so i moved the archive 
to another box:

http://mercurio.sm.dsi.unimi.it/~pisati/libalias/libalias.tgz

thanks for the report! :)
