This md5 sum 'bug/issue' may be related to the fact that some ISPs have
a 'transparent' proxy inline downstream. (Mine does)
Perhaps the md5 calc is coming off an old cached version?
I believe that if you append a "?" on a url that it bypasses the proxy
and so I suspect it may be possible to hack the freshclam code to do
something like this for freshclam retreivals. 
Does anyone agree this is worthwhile and know how to go about it?

Regards,
Myles
