There are still corrupted distfiles, for example net/balance:

sh -c 'for i in heanet aleron unc belnet umn; do echo -n $i ": "; fetch -o - -q -A http://$i.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/balance/balance-3.11.tar.gz | md5; done'
heanet : 69e72ccbcb3d397d569487e85663c01a
aleron : 69e72ccbcb3d397d569487e85663c01a
unc : 69e72ccbcb3d397d569487e85663c01a
belnet : ff84cf7e9cc784f13ea186125dd10a1d
umn : 69e72ccbcb3d397d569487e85663c01a

anyone objects to set MASTER_SITE_SOURCEFORGE to
  http://heanet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
  http://aleron.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
  http://unc.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/
  http://umn.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/

until the problem goes away?
