Thanks for your feedback.  If I can't get freshclam to work, then yes,
I'll simply download it, and hope for the best.  I did have another
thought though.  Perhaps freshclam is checking, and finding updates,
even before the download is finished; hence, the mismatching MD5-sum 
error.  So, I've disabled the automatic 24 update checks per day, in
freshclam.conf, and will instead rely on manually updating the
database every once in a while (heck, I'm using Linux with dial-up, so
no need for overkill).

It's at 33% now.  So, I'm hopeful.

Mark
