Thank you both.  Using wget solved the problem; I was using Opera.

I was aware my md5sum differed.  However, I downloaded it several
times with the same result and assumed the file had inadvertently been
changed on the server end.  I simply didn't think there'd be a problem
with such a small file.  I didn't use the common sense to try another
method of download.

I still don't know why Firfox and Opera present problems, but I'll
remember for next time.
