Re: [ast-developers] ast-ksh.2008-02-02_Base -- md5 seems to mismatch the posting.

[Mark Tague]

I now see your point. It appears that Kget (under FreeBSD6.2) seems to be doing this hidden compression. When I tried it under Windows-xp using Mozilla browser it came down clearly as ast-ksh.2008-02-02.tgz.gz and the md5sum as well as the file size now agrees with the web site posting just fine. I was not aware of the possibility of gunzipping (sometimes hidden) by any browser or tool before this episode. It appears to be limited since it does not seem to be happening (in my past experience) when a download is a .zip or .rar or .7z or non-compressed files. Thanks for your assistance. I now consider my concern resolved.

Please let me know how this should be reconciled or corrected.
