I don't know where you got your version, but I get:

The mirror master has the same md5sum.

Here is something I don't understand. If I use wget
to fetch xterm-353.tgz, as you did, then I get the
same md5sum as you, which is also in the book.
However if I paste the link to the file in the
Firefox address bar and press enter, then request
to save the file, I get a xterm-353.tgz file that
has a slightly different size and the different
md5sum that I reported above. I have been using
the latter method (pasting links in the Firefox
address bar) to download all the files, and
all the other md5sums are correct. Do you have
any idea why that method doesn't seem to
work for the xterm-353.tgz file?
Richard
For me, this particular url, when using the above method in firefox,
will download the file directly into gedit. Where as for ntfs-3g,
which is
also a tgz file, it downloads normally.
I don't use this method to download files, but I though I would
just mention it.
Tried downloading with evolution: md5 as in the book
Then with firefox: md5 as you found.
And in the second case, you cannot run tar xf on the downloaded file:
You need to gunzip it once, which makes a file named xterm-353.tar,
which is still a gzip compressed tarball! And whose md5 is the one in
the book...
So firefox wrongly applies gzip to the downloaded file, although it is
already gzipped. I am unable to tell whether it is just a setting to be
changed or a real bug.
Pierre
Thanks for discovering this. It looks as though this problem
has been around for a while with Firefox, for example:
