There is (new) functionality in the download server that allows for
looking up the MD5 sum of a file.

If you append ".md5" to an URL, you will get the MD5 sum. For instance:
http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/localized/es/3.2.0/OOo_3.2.0_Win32Intel_install_es.exe.md5
 
ca32f0c7f54dd2fb2fed0cdbf96de7a4  OOo_3.2.0_Win32Intel_install_es.exe


You can check
http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/localized/es/3.2.0/OOo_3.2.0_Win32Intel_install_es.exe.mirrorlist
(with ".mirrorlist" appended) to see which other hashes (and metadata)
is known about the file.

In principal, this new functionality can obsolete separate md5sums.txt
files.

Those URLs are not real files that are mirrored to the mirror download
servers - which is a feature, because only the MD5 (or other) hash from
the master download server can be authoritative.

Does this help?
Peter
